Too kool for school, but nowhere else to go
olalonde: I pretty much in the same situation as you and have a similar background (currently studying software engineering). Actually I did quit school for one year and worked as a web developer. I liked it, good salary and all, but I chose to go back to school for a few reasons.1) School is a great place to make connections.2) My parents are supporting me while I'm still studying.3) Most of all, I'm an entrepreneur and school is a great time to start a company (see 2 reasons above + http://answers.onstartups.com/questions/2059/founding-a-star...).4) Although I also learn better on my own (didn't learn much at school), bachelor opens the door to post-graduate studies and gives some credibility when looking for VC funding.Finally, nowadays, you can launch a startup with minimal capital investment, so don't worry about money.
