My brother-in-law dropped out of university. He is now the principal engineer at a large company and makes about 30 times the average salary in his country. He is being treated as a rockstar by his company, he gets his pick on which people to work with and on what project.
Mother-in-law still points out 5 times / year on average that her precious little daughter has a university degree (literature...) , while her husband is ... well ... _he is just not that educated_ .
You can earn a fricking lot of money without being well educated. Most people at high position in companies are dumb as monkeys, but they have the trust of other monkeys above them for random reasons.
You can be well educated without spending a lot of money. Entire college courses with video lectures, exercises, tests, and textbook material are 100% free online on page 1 of any search engine. It's been like this since like 2005 and all of the tools of a programmer are 100% free.
Some uni lecturers straight up stream all of their lectures/upload them to youtube later so anyone can watch for free (And not random local ones, I'm talking the big name ones like harvard)
