I think the problem is that your passion is for dropping out of school rather than the project at hand. When I look at coders (or anyone) who has a passion for something they'll do said task even if they're going for hours without sleep or even forget to eat. Also if the project isn't that complicated how good of a demo can it be to get you this undefined full time job? Honestly finishing school may help you more in the long run (unless what you're doing at school has nothing to do with your career).
