If you can afford to get a degree, this should be a no-brainer. Just get it. You can drive Uber, or earn an equivalent amount of money, any time in the future, but you can't say the same about getting a degree. Twenty years down the road, the amount you can earn through Uber right now will not mean much, but a degree will. I have lived long enough to see many people regret their decision to postpone going to school, esp. those who came to the U.S. through the diversity visa when they were still young.
