Lot of people here urging you not to. I think your goals aren't really clear from this post, but I'll add my input as someone who dropped out of high school and presently has a successful career: Working instead of going to college was a massive boon in my life and put me at an economic advantage relative to my peers. There have been drawbacks: I can never get a job in heavily-regulated industries such as health care or finance. And I had to be a lot more self-reliant, freelancing to build my resume and reputation. But I was able to build my career and have four more years of work experience while my peers started their careers later and with a massive load of debt. So if you're going to leave school I'd recommend you immediately find a job in your field and work on your own project on the side. Working on my own projects never paid the bills but I never regretted having work experience.
