I think my experiences may be helpful. I went to college right out of high school. Major was engineering. I had a scholarship and dad paying for school. (no worries, right?) Well, all I did was party and I ended up failing out. Enter phase 2 of my life. Joined the Marine Corps, served from 94-98. Got out trained in a technical field. Worked on 'puters for a while, now work in a related technical field making pretty good money. Now, the kicker. I want my degree to advance in my company, so I go to school online and at night, while trying to share time with my wife and daughters.

Bottom line: stay in school. Complete it now, when you're young and it will open many doors for you in the future.
