I'm 17 and going to be a senior in high school so I can relate with you. I'm just getting ready to launch my first business, things have really been picking up and things are going grea and getting semi overwhelming at times. Since its summer I haven't had I deal with it while being in school. I'm a baseball player, it consumes al weekends in the fall and everyday in the spring.
I am 100% committed to being an entrepreneur for the rest of my life. I love baseball and have played it all my life, but since I understand I'm not going to go to the MLB, I have decided to stop playing baseball. I think it would be a ton easier on you if you quit lacrosse. I understand what it's like to be busy EVERY day and weekend and it's a bitch I agree.
I plan on going to college and majoring and mastering in Entreperenurship. Now you may say oh thats a waste of time. But let's look at it this way. Your 18, just graduated high school, no intentions of going to college. Big plans on starting a business. Well it takes money to make money, where do you plan to get start up money? Investors won't invest of you're not investing in the business yourself. And do you think your parents are going to be like "okay here's $120k that we were going to spend on your education, go use it to start a business with no experience and little knowledge"? I highly doubt it.
You may think there is no need and you can learn it all online and stuff, but at colleges they have organizations for entrepreneurship and a majority of entrepreneurship teachers are entrepreneurs and LOVE to mentor kids in starting up their own business.
College is the furthest thing from pointless.
