What are the upsides of going to college/uni?

So, to set the scene, I was given a pretty good lot in life as in my brain clicked together in such a way that I turned out a very smart guy, and the only real damage is that I have a blood fetish. But that's beside the point, what I'm getting at here is that what's the point of going to college or uni? They all seem like pozzed scams with no benefit to getting a degree. I want to apply to like a technical school but everyone goes "oh no you need to apply your mind" and what have you. Is it better in other countries? Anywhere I should go to further my education?
