I opted to drop out of a small technical school several years ago. I would have loved to goto an art school but even with financial aid, it was way out of my reach. I landed an internship and went from there. Now, with 4 years under my belt and currently maintain a Sr designer role, I do not regret dropping out. I have been extremely fortunate for my career to this date and have never once been judged for not having a degree. I am very driven and know that I need to work just as hard as those designers that have the degree because they do have somewhat of an 'edge' on me.
Long story short, it comes down to how driven you are and how badly you want to reach personal goals that you may have set for yourself. I know that I am reaching mine one step at a time...
