What else do you have passion for? Art? History? Math? Study what you love. If there's nothing in college that you have passion for then dropping out makes sense. Don't study stuff for your profession. There's nothing in college that is likely to prepare you for your job better than just getting a book a month before you need to know something.

Saying you have a passion for programming is analogous to saying you have a passion for hammers. Programming is just a means to an end, and not an end in itself. By and large, people who get paid to program are getting paid to solve problems with computers and not for the code itself.
Thus, we're back at square one. What problems would you like to see solved? What are you interested in? What sort of programs do you want to write? The answer to that ? will determine whether you should major in CS.
