Should I go to college?

For as long as I can remember I've had the dream of going to a top university and making some impact on the world, and yet here I sit in an insignificant little town,in an insignificant school with a probably even less significant purpose. On top of that, I've come to question why I even want to go to college or why I even need it. I like to believe I'm not vain; I don't need to put on airs to be happy and really isn't that all college is about? Getting a grand education to get a career for a big enough pay check to buy useless **** that you don't need to impress society, well maybe I don't want to impress society, some of the smartest people that have ever lived never had a single day of higher education. Don't get me wrong, I'm not devaluing education, its a magnificent gift that if I had been born any other country I might not have even had access to this kind of opportunity. I'm not bragging by any means when I say I am at the top 10% of my class... of my school even, but just because I can get into college does that mean I have to? In an ever growing technological society, as even societies of much simpler countries continue to advance, is formal and accomplishment oriented education just an inevitable necessity? I know you may be thinking, "You just need to find your passion" but frankly, I don't have an identifiable passion and really, that would be my sole motivation for going to college; to maybe educate myself on all that I can, to find my true calling. But definitely not for the money, as much as I'd like to live comfortably after being poor for the less than 20 years I've existed, and not for the education itself though I might, just because I like to learn. I have the mettle, grades, and activities to college but I guess my main question is should I?Excuse me for baring my soul, but with anonymity I feel less inclined to hold back.If you bother to read this in its entirety I commend you, and if you answer, even bigger kudos... and maybe 10 points if you're interested. Thanks.
