I did something similar after one year, I dropped out to start an app development business that was growing for me pretty steadily, the business didn't do well long term and I took a job in the industry. I Haven't regretted it yet and I'm far ahead of my peers in just the debt load alone, that doesn't even include my higher salary, better resume and more years of experience. I'm not too upset that I missed a few years of binge drinking myself to death to get a head start on my life.
