Because honestly...I do. The end result is financial security, which can be obtained without spending $50,000+ on a piece of paper that MIGHT get you further in life than someone without it.
I also think that most people go for all the wrong reasons. A lot of the college grads that I know personally have no idea what they're gonna do in the upcoming months, because their degrees are in fields that they really dont care about. They went to college "to get a degree to get a job in a field to make a lot of money".
Me, on the other hand, found a decent job through networking with local businesspeople. I dropped out of college due to this job, and now has 3 years of experience that my ex-college classmates dont have. Now, this is not to say that they wont have good enjoyable jobs in the future...i realize that they are probably going to be making more $ than me 10 years from now (if I dont go back to college).
I just feel that college is way too force-fed these days. More money for our oh-so-needy government IMO.
