If you look at the success rate of people who attended college vs success rate of people who tried to make a career on youtube, you would definitely pick going to college as the one with lower risk.

First take a look at this:

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/38561562/ns/business-personal_finance/t/it-worth-it-go-college/#.XIg9MhNKg0p

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that median weekly earnings for a person with a bachelor’s degree was $1,025 in 2009, compared with just $626 for those with only a high school diploma.

So, if you compare that against the success rate of youtube stars

So how realistic is it to make a living off your video clips? 

Every minute, more than 400 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube and equates to 65 years of video a day.

In addition, the site has 1.5 billion monthly users, so trying to stand out is nearly impossible.

Even if someone does reach the top 3.5 percent of the platform’s most-viewed channels, or at least 1 million views per month, it's only worth about $12,000-$16,000 in advertising revenue. 

You can conclude that if you want a more guaranteed income you should definitely go to college.
