College is not required it depends on you. For example look at Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. If you do not know what you want to do college can expose you to a lot of areas of interest. Also remember college is not a career it is a place to gather skills to give you advantages when get a job.
There are many scholarships and many local community colleges that are affordable and a great place to start.

College isn't required to be successful, as it depends on what you want to do. If you want to be a doctor, yes, you need a degree; if you want to be an artist, you can go to college, major in art, etc. For example:
1) If you want to be a doctor, attend school and take courses that apply to medicine (e.g., biology, chemistry, etc.) - focus on doing well in your courses but also join groups that are medicine based, volunteer at a hospital, work at a doctor's office, etc. Since being a doctor requires med school, attend a med school, study/do well, work/volunteer to get hands-on experience, etc.
2) If you want to be an artist, you can practice your craft, work at a gallery, work at a museum, etc. - there isn't only one way to be a successful artist.
A lot goes into being successful...the willingless to learn new things, be a team player, try new things, build on experiences, working with a mentor to help guide you are import. If you absolutely want (and possibly need) to go to college, research your intended major, research schools that offer that major, explore financial aid/scholarships, call the school's counselors, visit the school, if possible. Make sure the school you choose fits you and what you want.
Good Luck!
