In order for a college degree to be the best in the options listed, you would have to be able to attain a low cost degree but once which you graduate, stay in the field you studied and be paid enough to pay back the loans you have with enough left for cost of living (home, food, clothes, transportation, etc.) + money left for saving and investing.

Dropped out at 18 then spent a few years becoming really healthy- traveled a lot, went vegan, took a lot of psylocibin, taught yoga, took care of my body, etc..

A person can be a  top investor but without attention to health both physical and mental , you will lose in the end, I know this from personal experience .Healthy eating habits ,physical fitness thru challenging workouts or yoga,what ever moves you!

My parents came to America as refugees escaping with Vietnam War with nothing but the cloth on their backs.
