Basically I’m 18, and an international student in the US, majoring in computer science. This is my second year in college, and I’m not sure now if this is really what I want to do. I work online as an IT specialist, full-time, and manage to make enough to pay off most of my tuition fees as well as living expenses, at the cost of hindering my studies. Now, here’s the deal: I see myself as an internet entrepreneur in the future, and I’m sure I could put my earnings towards fulfilling that dream, instead of spending thousands of dollars for a college education, which is going to serve little, if any, purpose in my future anyway. On the other hand, I want to start the entrepreneurship here in the US itself, instead of going back to my home country; that means I have to maintain my status as a full-time student in order to stay. What should I do: drop out of college and go back to start my own thing, or stay and hope to juggle work and studies somehow (it’s not going on nearly as well as I would have liked, though!)? Thanks for any insight you can provide into this.
