If you honestly can't think of a reason to go to college, I suggest that you don't waste your time.

The question should be: what do you want to do with your life? If what you want to do requires college, go.
If what you want to do doesn't require college, or if you don't know what you want to do, consider that college will give you a broader perspective and will open up opportunities. On the other hand, going to college directly out of high school is not a requirement.
If you really want to be a carpenter (just to pick an occupation at random), you might try to get a job in that field for a while to see if you like it. If you don't, you can go to college later on.
You could also double-dip. Get a regular job and take some community college courses at night or on the weekends. In most cases the credits will transfer if you do decide to go to college and in any case it will give you a feel for what you might learn in college.
One last thing, going away to college does present opportunities as far as the "going away" part that are not to be discounted.

Beyond learning certain subject matter in depth to prepare yourself for a career and better employment, a college degree broadens your exposure to the world and can improve you as a person. There are excellent statistics available comparing the lifetime income of a college graduate and a non-graduate. Go to www.edunetwork.com as a possible site.

Financially, the futher you go in your education the more money that you stand to make.
Adults age 18 and older with a bachelor’s degree earned an average of $51,554 in 2004, while those with a high school diploma earned $28,645, according to new tabulations released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. Those without a high school diploma earned an average of $19,169.

To learn and get a degree in the field that you choose to work in. If you have a college degree you are worth more in the workplace than if you dont therefore you can make a higher salary.
