Take a step back for a second, take a deep breath, and think about where you want to be in 5 years. Make a list of things you want and where you want to be. Include at least 10 items on that list. Do actual research into what it will take to achieve those goals. Pick your top 3 and act on them today, right now. I can't tell you if you should go to college, I don't know you. I can tell you there are a lot of resources out there for software engineers that didn't go to college. If you have skills then you can build a portfolio and start applying.
