I'd agree you don't need a degree to be a successful entrepreneur. However, as an entrepreneur I believe (since I can't claim to be one, not yet) you take risks that may lead you into the situation where you have to get a regular job so that you can survive, even if temporarily.

If that ever happens to me, I'm betting my X number of years spent earning my college degree will help me find a better job with a higher wage than if I didn't have a degree.

That was one of my personal reasons to go to college. I positive I could do without it but I think I'll feel somewhat safer in life knowing I can still have a good career if everything else fails.
