The only fairly well off people I've known that were very well educated were vietnamese people when I lived in Chinatown paris, that were high end engineers etc.
You can def make it big without having to get a degree. In fact the proof is out there.. Billionaires without degrees. But if your folks can afford to send you to college, then it shouldnt be a hindrance to go and then set up a business afterwards.
