4th Question
It is a good idea to go to college if you have satisfied all the qualifications to enter college and if you have enough money. However, if you can't, then that is completely ok too!
Life is not about spending 4 years studying a specific subjects in a college. Most often, the most successful and the wealthiest people have never set a foot on a university! Learning from Experience, commitment, self motivation and good attitudes are all you need if you truly want to be successful and happy in life!
and the other part, Is college education the only way to continue to learn?
Of course NOT!! back at the early days this statement was true as most of the universal knowledge was centralized within universities and academics. But this is the 21st century and the dawn of the digital era has connected everyone and everything.Knowledge has now become accessible to anyone with a computer and an internet connection! It is no longer centralized inside colleges! All you require is a bit of self-discipline, curiosity and motivation!
