Try getting a fulltime job if you can. You don't need to join college for CS education imo. There is not much benefit of a college degree unless it's from a elite/great college. The best resources to learn CS are online ex. https://teachyourselfcs.com/ is a good resource to self learn. Imo unless you want to go into academia you don't really need a degree atleast for software/security jobs. As far as socializing and learning soft skills is concerned, it can very easily be done in a job as well, you don't need to go to a university for it. Even better get a remote job or go backpacking around the world and you can fast track all those 4 years of socializing skills in a few months as well. |

Be very careful. It's easy to get an entry-level development job when you're young and inexperienced because you're cheap.
Having hired experienced developers; what happens is that people without degrees get overlooked, no matter how good they are. The reason is that developer jobs get an unreasonably high number of applicants; so things like a college degree turn into basic filtering mechanisms.
IE, it doesn't matter how good or experienced you are, without a degree many places (including me), won't even bother reading your resume.
