My degree is as unrelated to maths or sciences or computers as is possible but I've been working remotely for many years as a developer, despite not having looked into it until I was out of college for many years. So college really has nothing to do with it at all, in my experience.
College might get you contacts and job prospects, but I've interacted with a lot of developers who do have college degrees but because their training was relatively recently, they didn't get a lot of important knowledge about things like memory management because a huge number of schools only teach GC languages now, so I still have an edge against those with degrees since I made it a point to learn C++ really really well.
