I feel your pain. You are in a unique position as a developer. Most of what you learn in your degree program, whatever it is, will not have direct relevance on how to run a business, create a product, build a company, or how to work with other people in a business environment. I have several friends who all either did some college and dropped out it bored them and their interests led them to successful careers in software (two of them are senior independent consultants, one is a CTO and founder of several startups). Lack of degree was only a barrier for a brief time when their experience wasn't strong enough to carry them forward. It's no such barrier now. In your particular case, I think you should seize the opportunity to build something for yourself. Whether you succeed or fail will be immaterial compared to what you learn from the experience. Like someone said, school will always be there. I say go for it. You're only young once.
