However, college is still relevant. A smart man once told me that college is a place to learn how to learn. Managing a schedule, living on your own, succeeding in courses that you are not passionate about, showing up on time and just overall having your shit together are things you will need to be successful in real life.
Unless you have ambitions of being a sys admin for life straight out of high school, then maybe you should save your $$. Even then, I'd still probably go to college. It's 4 years that you'll never forget for better or worse.
