It's up to you and the life choices that you believe will make you the most satisfied really. There is not a definite rule to follow.
I always thought that studying was the main entrance through which access society and the working world for a person like me. Now I'm starting to regret it because things aren't going as smooth as I expected but I know and I'm aware that, had I chosen not to do it in the first place, in this moment I will be here regretting it tenfold. So the moral is, it's always better to follow your natural inclination and do what you feel both more skilled and more comfortable at.
College requires patience, consistency and perseverance, you already know that. If you don't feel like a studious person on the whole, if you'd rather want to be an active participant in this society's productive effort rather than sitting for hours at your desk reading books or writing thesis, if you'd rather earn an income to immediately invest on your family rather than pay for the improvement of a personal education and a professional formation that you don't know exactly where they would lead you, you know what to do.
