Is it worth it to spend the money on college

if all you want to do is raise a family? Especially if you can make money on the side doing things you enjoy.

for sheer money in, money out get a job type stuff that colleges and universities have morphed into over the years, I'd say not. there should be a large number of less tangible benefits you pick up from going on to any advanced degree that are much more difficult to attach a price tag to, but not everyone has time, inkling, interest, et al in getting all of that.
so depending on what you want your career path to be (and what it ends up needing to be - because those often don't follow the same lines), college may well not be the best option for you.

that said, an advanced degree nearly always smooths the way in most career paths.
