I dropped out of college in 2010 after 1.9 years. If you ever want to talk, PM me. thenewgreen did something similar, but went back to finish when he hit a ceiling at this job. Here's some slightly related threads:
Quiet you! You're an exceptional person with exceptional skills and drive. Maybe rene is too; I wouldn't have a clue. But I do know that playing the odds, it's better to finish college than not. You shouldn't try to generalize your case to everyone, because most people can't do what you do (I mean this as the highest compliment, so don't read it as me scolding you for giving bad advice). Stay in school. Don't use drugs.
For the record, I wouldn't recommend taking the path either...but sometimes it works and certainly it helps to see other perspectives regardless. I'm still too young and it hasn't been long enough to know if I will regret the decision yet.
For the record, since I was shouted out, I would never suggest taking my route. I very much wish I had finished the first time around. I regret that decision.
