You wouldn't do so if you came to know that those friends of mine are attending Ivy league colleges while I recently dropped out of my mid-tier state university because I didn't find it time-effective, and ofc finances. Now, you would again argue that there are many factors that come into college admission, and I absolutely agree.
But, what disappoints me is I was academically & extracurricular-wise far more superior than them (except IO medals), still not a single so called elite colleges accepted me. But, I am an optimist and what I've learned about myself is I can teach myself the COMPUTER SCIENCE far better than somebody else. I don't know what will happen in few years time, I may stay unemployed or may land my dream job, but the thing is, I am always learning and I do believe that my skills will be appreciated.
