School isn't for everyone... all I can say is weigh out your decisions wisely.
As for the path I chose...
I graduated HS in '01 then went to Penn State for one semester. Came home over Christmas break and got a great paying job offer to do accounting in Edison. It was worth it more for me to take the job than to stay at Penn State based on the salary they offered me. I was going to Middlesex County College part-time at nights... 2 years later that said company laid me off (corporate cutbacks), and now I am finishing up at MCC at nights and working by day.
Same as what everyone else said... don't stop... at least take 1 or 2 classes a semester. I took one semester off when I started my first accounting job, and getting back into the groove was probably one of the most strenuous tasks that I had to apply my mind.
But keep in mind... success isn't always getting a college degree (take Bill (foff) for example). Look at Bill (ironically) Gates... he's a Harvard dropout, and now the richest man in the world. So, if you have some good ideas, then maybe you should pursue them rather than college, but if you don't, having a degree is your insurance policy to finding a half-decent job.
