I dropped out and don't regret it (I'm 45), but there definitely have been times that I have. You'll have to pay your dues one way or the other--it took 5-10 years before I felt like I didn't have to sweat the "education" part of the job interview. Everyone's a little different, and mostly I'm joking but I'll say: If you think school erodes your passions, just wait until you experience industry.
