I wrote a post

in which I talked about my first year of university and my choice to leave a Dev job to gain a degree and my reasons to do so. That said I do agree with you I many ways. University is not for everyone, I am lucky to be in the position I am. But not everyone in the tech industry has a degree, hell even Bill Gates dropped out of college. But although university may not be important, education sure is. I sill firmly believe that your better off with a degree and the drive and motivation to succeed even when massive obstacles are in your path to success. Also different paths do help the tech community in general so pick your path.
