I quit school just recently. However I had a stable income prior to this and I have enough money in different assets to support me for a few years without income. Obviously I am all for "going your own way" but I believe that, unless you have skills that are in high demand and where the supply is low (IT Security, Certain programming languages etc.), you should have a stable income or another way of supporting your "I do my own thing" lifestyle.
All the best and good luck (Whatever your decision will be)

I had such a thought sometime back when I was in college. Even though my thought wasn't to go to IM, I intended to drop school to start a business (had no idea exactly on the kind of business). Looking back in hindsight, I must say that I did the right thing by sticking to the end and getting a degree. Even though I actually never looked for a job with the degree, I believe that having a Plan B (that I can always get a job if s***t hits the fan) has always done me well. Furthermore, it is through sticking in situations that we would rather avoid that builds character and persistence. Just my thoughts

If you wouldn't post 40 times a day and would actually get some work done you wouldn't think of IM as a 'bad business'.

Don't drop out of school. You're getting an education that can not only help you in I.M, but can give you a leg up in an exploding industry.
If I were you, I'd continue schooling and sit down with your parents and talk to them about giving you an additional $500-$1,000 per month to pursue your IM projects. Let them know that it's an investment in their son.

A general rule of thumb to follow:
Hope and work for the best, plan for the worst.

OP, if your parents are businessmen then it would be smooth journey for you and if not then get prepared for hurdles three times. I hope you can cross them in a single year. It took me 4 years though, its like engineering. I call my self Internet marketing Engineer.
