your initial post is insanely close to my current situation. seems like no matter how far and hard you work, there are just not enough hours in a day to get to enough done.
for myself, its like everyday i wake up, a race begins... and no matter how productive the day goes, i still go to bed (more like a 2-3-4 hour nap) feeling like i'm still behind.
I'm also in school, finally graduating college in TWO more months. Battled and battled against "taking some time off" or "going back at another time" but it just never seemed realistic to me that I would ever return. So I battled it and multi-tasked like crazy in order to maintain business and school. Its really a diffiuclt trade off, and recently its been like, why in the hell would i go to this 3 hour class when I could work and make money/advance my position financially? Then combined with what I'm actually paying for the class (according to my calculations, about $100.00 per class), and figuring in opportunity costs of not working, class is just outright unbearable at times.
In either case, you have to put things into perspective and look at yourself in the long term, and although it's difficult, overlook the money available to you. A college degree will be relevent and useful... and to tell you a story.... I have friend that did a couple million in adult a few years ago, and dropped out of college due to his financial successes. A few years later, he overextended himself, some of his ventures failed, and now he's working at a gas station. True story, and facts.
I have thought and thought about dropping out of college for 3 straight years now, but finally i'll be graduated in 2 months and will be in every position to further everything i've developed and relationships I have built throughout this timeframe, so I guess I won both wars, but not without the stresses and confusion you described in your initial post.
You are a smart guy, I'm sure you'll make the right decision regardless of what you choose, i would only suggest to make sure you think about the issues you may face 5-10 years down the road before determining your paths. We all get blinded by cash at times, but college only secures yourself even more when things go wrong, and things go wrong for all of us at times.
Take care man and good luck.
