(1) in-depth knowledge of math, which has always been an asset. Those that don't go to college have issues here.
(2) met like-minded friends that were inspiring and most are quite successful now.
(3) allowed me to go to grad-school and specialize in machine learning. This specialty opened doors that ultimately resulted in company ownership (yes it ended well)
(4) personal satisfaction in knowing that I can finish something with long term vision. College is only four years, but when you are young it seems daunting.
