What would happen if your company closed down 10 years from now? You would have to start from the bottom. A college degree prevents one from having to start from scratch. It raises your basement so to speak.
Arrogance of having a college degree

If you read carefully, you'd realize that that's not what I said. My hypothetical posed the scenario where if I encountered someone and I had the knowledge that they didn't go to college, and that person hasn't otherwise overtly demonstrated some sort of success or other means of eliciting interest from me (e.g., pushing a Phantom--whereby you are either incredibly wealthy or still were able to get your hands on a Phantom despite not being wealthy--which in either case, is interesting), then why would I spend time getting to know you? I'd have to make the assumption that we probably aren't from the same worlds and probably don't share a common experience.
But long story short, without the rationale behind my logic, yes, you're right. I probably wouldn't spend an extended amount of time getting to know someone without a college degree. This may be the arrogance that OP is talking about, but to me (and the vast majority of employers), time is limited and no one has the time to vet everyone for their back story.
With that said, nothing about a person with a college degree is per se interesting to me, but real talk, if you don't have a degree, I probably only eff with you in the context of the internet forums, Twitter or if I met you at a party.

Not really, A college degree won't save you from starting at the bottom. A lot of places promote from within now so even with a degree and all the experience in the world you could still end up with an entry level job. Also, if someone had an idea to start a company that ran successfully for 10 year before falling apart, I'm sure they could start another business. Former business owners don't go from managing companies to flipping burgers after a failed venture. (sorry for the extreme)
I want to state for the record i'm not advocating against college but it definitely isn't the end all be all of success.

You can't be serious. Maybe that's true where you come from, but that theory couldn't even glide where I'm from.

Mad jimmies have been rustled in here...
Glad I waited a few days before hitting this thread.
I can say that there were questions earlier in the thread about whether or not someone with a college degree should date someone without one. I have dated tons of women in my life. My last GF had a Bachelors and I obtained my masters while we were dating. We met during college and maintained the relationship afterwards. I won't pretend like she wasn't a great woman and that I didn't appreciate the fact that she was 100% indendent and had a great job but it def didn't make the relationship.
I've also dated hood *** chicks that barely finished high school but just had some hustle to them, while we weren't always as knowledgable about the same subjects we all had the same goal in mind which was success I never looked down on them. One of my hood chicks started a jewlery line an works at a bank making close to what I make with my masters. All it proved was you can't knock the hustle.

Probably in every area of life that are most likely, not legal. I'm sure their public speaking game has to be extra-tight. Constantly having to stand up for one's self in order to prevent themselves from looking inferior to others.
I don't understand how you will get anywhere in life without a HS Diploma or GED if you not Drake, fam.

getting an actual college degree is not hard at all...and no one with one should look down on someone without one. it doesn't take a person with smarts to get a college degree. the biggest challenge to getting one is paying for one.

WHOOOSHHHHHH, over their heads it went.
Clearly went over your head, but that's OK.
i think you should have used "converse"
My sentiments exactly.
the whole sarcastic arrogance didnt go over anyone's head...
he highlighted 'conversate' so i pointed out that ++I THINK++ he was stonefacing 'conversate and possibly could have used 'converse.'
Im horrible at grammar anyway...but i do have 7 digits in 2 accounts and a PHD ;-)

I think going to class and actually attending is the hardest part. Lol, yeah the papers and studying are what comes with the territory, of course. But actually getting up and going to class, getting to bed and not partying all night -- it really is a life check, forreal. Being free, and being able to keep yourself on task, that to me is college.

There was nothing sarcastic about what I typed, though.
You're right, he was stonefacing the fact that I used conversate, but it was used for a reason,
