This advice is potentially terrible for many/most people.

> Skip college, you can always go back.

It's much harder to get into and succeed in college later in life. You'll also be a bad fit for the college social scene, which is where many people make lifetime friends and connections.

> If you MUST go to college, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get a CS degree. Go for finance, or liberal arts, even bio or chem, or some course of study where the instructors have a clue and have actually done something in that field.

I think this reveals bias from the poster.

My opinion is that you should at least start college. If you shouldn't be there, you can drop out. Find a mentor that seems to be a good fit for you. It could be a prof, a local startup founder, whatever. Make plans ahead of time (e.g. contact profs ahead of time and/or choose the university based on faculty) to secure that mentorship.
