I wouldn't recommend skipping college if you can get in and either afford it or are willing to incur the debt. Even after $25K+ of debt and 5 years of undergrad for two degrees, I don't regret it.

If I had to do it all over again, I think I would have angled very hard for a Symbolic Systems degree from Stanford (http://symsys.stanford.edu/). It's a very cool cross-disciplinary program and, if you can afford it (mentally, financially), you can cram in more CS classes or whatever strikes your fancy along the way.
