To College or Not To College [HELP]

[DeletedUser8]

Guys, I'm at a serious crossroad right now. I'm at a community college right now and the my plan has been to try to get a high GPA and transfer to a great university... but something just tells me my time can be utilized better elsewhere. I am a naturally driven entrepreneur at heart and I love learning about the finance and technology. I've read James Altucher's "50 Alternatives to College" as well as his podcast regarding the subject and call me crazy but I've actually considered leaving to start making moves on my own.

My plan is to potentially "hack" my education by learning more on finance, entrepreneurship, and computer programming. Something about learning on my own is more appealing to me, it becomes fun rather than a task and the feeling of doing something different than the rest of the "crowd" is gratifying to me because I feel I can do it. I still have my doubts though. My parents would be totally against this, and I'm sure it's easy for you to say ..."Well, you're 18 you can make your own decisions" it's just hard for me to make that decision without your guys' guidance and to push me past the tipping point.

As of now, I've been managing my own Finance/Entrepreneurship blog and I was contacted by SeekingAlpha via email yesterday with their request for them to start using my content as articles on their site. I'm attending an investment conference in New Orleans in October, and I've got a mentor currently that helps me in the world of investing. My grandma and mentor, who happens to be her newly wedded husband with a speculative networth somewhere in the millions, have told me they're willing to open me a brokerage account with InteractiveBrokers which is an account minimum of $3,000. I wake up, grab my coffee, and watch the market move. I recently spent $550 on for Pennystocking Silver by Tim Sykes which allows me to study live trades and be notified of stock movements within micro-small cap stocks through buying and short selling. There's money to be made here! It just seems that there's opportunity outside of the classroom.

This is stressing me out. I can be that kid to get good grades, but I almost don't want to... I want to learn on my own and make money. Being that I'm 18, by the time kids my age are graduating I could potentially have my own business and have assets on my own, not to mention skills that are required for jobs that don't include studying pointless GE material.

Maybe I have it figured out, Maybe I don't. I really need your guys' help. Withdrawal date for a Full Refund on classes is on September 7th. What are your thoughts?
