Currently, there's a message all around social media that college is for suckers.
India hasn't improved all that much to accommodate people with skills but without degree in the job market. It's very rare to find companies like that.
Moral: You're better off going to college.

If you can afford to, go to US/Canada or Europe for your bachelor's. Otherwise, do a master's degree abroad after bachelor's.
Treat the degree as a milestone that gets your foot in the door. Make sure the degree matches what you are interested in.

If you're an average joe, your life can get better through incremental improvement. Don't depend on your college for a job though. Build the skills in the field of your choice while pursuing your degree (hopefully both are aligned) and go vertically deep.
If you have to go to a tier-3/4 college, it's definitely worthless paying a tier-1 level tuition.
So, only if you find yourself in such a situation, don't depend on your college, sit down, buckle up, and build your skills in public, do an apprenticeship, and do anything.

As long as you build requisite skills, you should do fine in life. Don't overthink it.
Who you want to be in 5 years today will be different from who you want to be in 5 years, 5 years from now.
Keep introspecting every quarter at least, so that the shifts aren't wild.

So, takeaway:
- If you can afford to, go to college, only if you can do US/EU/CA tier-1/2 colleges(try getting as much scholarship as possible). Build skills and network.
- If you only have tier-3 or lower admits, go to college, build requisite skills in public, and hack it up.
