Yeah, I don't know. 

There's also a lot of amenity value in college, at least for some of us. I enjoyed pretty much the entire time I was there, although when I was done I was ready to really be done.

I still have at least a decade before this becomes a real concern and I imagine the landscape will be very different by then.

Ah, here we get to the ineffable value of a college degree. I would also include as a benefit the network you develop in college. 

How to help our kids build these things without college? I need to seriously put some thought into the practicalities of this.

51% of GenZ says their degree was a "waste of money"

Even for credentialed fields, depending on what you actually want to do, the credential might not be necessary.

For instance, I don't need a PhD in economics to run ~econ and write or talk about the subject. I probably could have gotten here faster by reading more, writing more and finding outlets to pay for my work. The problem is that I didn't really know where I was trying to get and college sort of let me follow a vague path forward.
