I am agreed with what others have already said, there is a correlation between quality of the job and post high school education.

My advice would be to take advantage of all the things that you can do in college and that are harder to do outside. Remember that being in a college is more than lectures, you also have a lot of resources at hand that are very expensive outside.

The final note is that a comp sci degree (or analogous) is more than just programming, for instance if you would like to explore things like machine learning, physics simulation, and whatnot you would appreciate to have a solid math background (college level). It is up to you, you might be just fine without college like Gates and Zuckerberg, but there are also plenty of counterparts who were not that lucky without a college degree.
