What do you plan on spending your time on if you don't go to school? Most jobs largely consist of being forced to do some assignment that you feel isn't worth your time. - you're not going to be escaping that by dropping out. And I'd wager that a college degree is one of the best ways to snag a job that you DO actually enjoy.
I suspect the REAL value of a college degree, aside from the basic intelligence indication, is that it says you can handle 4 years doing largely unpleasant work.
Letting your future employer know you're willing to do all the unpleasant stuff you feel isn't worth your time.
If you did it for a piece of paper, then surely you'll do it for a paycheck... right?
