I did a computer engineering undergrad, I dropped out half way through and only returned years later when I learned I was about to become a father. At that point I had a small business and mortgage, it was much harder to study with all that going on, but I was also much more motivated.
Ultimately the most helpful things I learned came from
a) the co-op/internship jobs that I got through uni, and
b) technical things I learned during the last 2 semesters (ai, distributed, security), which I would not have known if I left early.
