should i quit uni

[townhaus]

I'm wondering whether i should quit uni and cut my losses, or continue.

Basically, i don't really enjoy uni culture- not a big fan of drinking, going to classes, voting on daft elections or hearing about the latest protest. I live on the fringes of uni society and take part in few of the events or clubs and could easily recreate the experience on a lower budget. Sure ive made some cool friends, but none i couldn't meet elsewhere.

Im coming to the end of my 1st year and studying maths and economics at LSE (which is now officially ranked 2nd in the UK, ahead of Oxford, according to the main league table) and came here because I wanted to get into quant trading at a bank/hf.

I still have a passion for trading but id much rather start my own business and i think that uni could be holding me back (for example, im putting off starting my business right now because I have exams next month). On the other hand, im at a top ranking uni and the degree could offer credibility if i want to start a fund later on. Also, in the UK tuition fees have recently increased from 3k to 9k, while im only having to pay the 3k since i'm already at uni.

Should i quit, get a min wage job and build my business, or continue for 2 years (i can still try and start my business at the same time) and try to get a better paying job at the end, then start my business (at the risk of failing to get a decent job/more debt or if i do, becoming too comfortable and abandoning my dreams).

p.s My goal is to try and reach my fastlane target of 10m (by building an online business to sell) then retire to trade or perhaps start a fund.
