I don't think anyone here is going to convince you of going one way or the other, it seems like you've made up your mind. A couple of points to think about with whatever you do: How you perceive things affects what you gain from them. If Uni "isn't for you" then sitting in class you're not going to learn anything. If you say "this might be useful, maybe not today, but someday" then you'll get something out of it. You may run into problems finding a job without a degree. While freelancing is fine now, how do you know you'll want to do it forever? I worked with a guy that ran his own consulting company for over 10 years, and had 3 employees. The economy crashed and he found himself looking for a full time job. While he had the experience to cover himself (being in his 50s), what if this happens to you in 3-5 years? There's a reason college sports players still get degrees. There's a lot of growth that occurs at school. I recently had the opportunity to work with someone around my age that didn't go to college. I expected him to have a baseline of knowledge that he didn't have. There were communication problems because there was no common baseline. I also noticed a certain level of immaturity that I didn't notice in my peers who I went to college with. There's also some amount of perseverance demonstrated by completing a degree. I don't know anyone who liked 100% of their college classes. Besides the required learning the piece of paper also signifies this. What does dropping out project to others about yourself? Will they realize this initially, or will you have to explain it to them? There's no right answer to this question.
