Computer industry??? A fork in the road

Ever since I was 12, I was always fascinated with computers, code especially. I messed around with code making small programs with visual basics and found myself working on that kind of stuff hours upon hours. In the back of my mind I knew that with my hard work and ambition I could possibly do well in this business(at age 13). After experimenting with afilliate pay per click programs till about age 18, I felt that the money I was making couldnt possibly provide for a family and live well in the future. After experimenting I lost interest in the industry and started pursuing a career as an orthodontist. Anyways, a few months ago I accidently came up with a crazy new idea. I started researching the idea and by surprise found out that very few people are actually exercising this new business idea online. I later found out that these three companies got started about two years ago and are each pulling in about 3 million a piece. I am basically more than half way done with developing this "new" idea online and realized that my life may be taking me in another direction. Now being a junior and college and having my foot in the door to a dental school, i may want to just say screw dental school and go full force with this idea. I've spent so many sleepless nights thinking about which route to choose. I am confident that this idea will work for me, but i still have my doubts of course. Has anyone experienced the similar situation i'm in? What advice do you have?
