Welcome to the forum!
Going to university to learn valuable skills can certainly be a good foundation that will open many doors for you. However, I would suggest you take some time to seriously reflect on yourself, to clarify what your strong and weak points are and where you want to end up.
Choosing a path that corresponds with your personality and strengths will massively aid you in any endeavor, while making the wrong choice can set you back for years.
For example:
If you are a very social person but struggle with STEM fields => Communication/Business straight into Sales. After a few years you have the connections and experience to start for yourself.
If you are a very social person and are good with STEM fields => IT straight into Tech Sales. Say hello to the best paid sales jobs you can find. The elite IT salespeople can make 300-500k/year, which you can use to launch yourself in Real Estate for example.
If you are very good in STEM but an introvert => IT/Math into Programmer. A guaranteed 100k$ (depending where you live) and after a few years you can go freelance and double the income, start a development company or go startup to roll the dice for ultra rich.
etc...
Note that every time I included a job before moving to a business. This is because the vast majority of people (me included) simply don't have the skills or the means to launch a successful business right after university. Most of us obtain experience, skills & funds from jobs, which we then use to launch business ventures.
