Default Re: Should I finish college? (long)

Suck it up and finish. You've gone this far, you may as well finish or you will regret it at some point... even if it's not until you're 30 or 40. I took a break after high school and it was very difficult to return later. I regret not continuing right away and getting it over with. I'm in my mid-thirties and I can tell you my perspective is not the same as I had when I was twenty.

The degree will help you in many ways. Even as an entrepreneur you will gain respect and status when dealing with banks and investors as they are more likely to think you know what you're talking about.

You may decide to go in a different direction in five or ten years, but not finishing might hinder or limit the options. Also, the lifetime earnings of a graduate versus a dropout are greater, should you decide to work for the man at a later date.

Drop the second major and finish... allowing you to keep playing quite a few hours per week.
