Don't put anything on the shelf for "later". Do as much as you can now, even if it means less than perfect grades. Beware of psychological burnout if you're feeling discomfort with doing stuff. Don't go to college if you're having any doubts about its utility, but look at the course sequence for a candidate school and degree and acquire the books used for the core classes. Look for free lectures online too. If you don't have any, make at least one friend whom you can talk technical with anytime. Consider going to interesting Meetup.com meetups in your area -- especially when you're looking for a job.
