PonyOne, I do not think this is a good advice, this is a competitive world, and you should get all the education that you can get...
Sad but true, sometimes it's a piece of paper with 'degree' written on it that gets you through doors, even if you are worse than someone that has more experience that you do...

I dropped out too, but I have a very strong work ethic in music (and anywhere else) that gave me the opportuinity to be a pro, but it involves so much LUCK that I wouldn't tell anyone to drop out of school to play music...
