No, it doesn't mean a good career, or even guarantee you a job once you've finished. High income does not mean happiness, it's just a bonus in life. What college gives you is an opportunity. However, opportunities can be found or made.
Basically, if there is something you need to go to school for (being a doctor, lawyer, etc), and you really want to do it, go for it. If you want to do something else that doesn't require a degree, perhaps starting your own business, you can skip college. Either path can make you happy, and provide you with a good income.
The most important thing about college is not the degree you get. It's the knowledge you absorb, and your ability to apply it in the real world. This knowledge can be obtained on your own, or through an educational institution. Only you know what's best for you.
