No. You can actually learn useful things at college. Take advantage of that. Over the long term, knowing technology X or Y matters way less than knowing the fundamentals. I didn't realize I had a great CS education until I started working. I see a lot of my peers (both who went to college and who didn't) who can program but don't know enough. Truly learn how a computer works. There shouldn't be any magic. Write a compiler.
