I barely made it through High School. It bored me to tears and I cut most of the time. No college. However, all those days I didn't attend HS I wasn't out goofing off or smoking weed. I was in the public library getting a real education.
After HS I got a job taking calls for an IT helpdesk and over the course of 4-5 years worked and educated myself into progressively higher positions of responsibility. I ended up as the network manager for a well known luxury goods company, a job which I quit after my adult business started to make some real money. So I think my slightly unorthodox methods have been vindicated, authough they might not work for others.
My advice is don't do it that way. Go to College. If nothing else, as others have said, its 4 years of girls, booze and fun. You've got the rest of your life to work full time!
After wrapping things up in this business (becoming financially independent) I will be going to College to study the things I really love: ANE History, Epistemology, and the Philosophy of science.
