Should I drop my course I'm studying in and go full time in starting a business/freelancing?

Its actually really dependent on you. What do you want in life? Everyone has different goals. Getting a degree not necessarily means it's useless but of course you need to study a course which will at least be useful for you in the future. You can't deny the fact that a lot of employers out there do actually look at your qualifications to recruit you at least from the start. If you set your mind to do your own business without getting a degree, it is a huge risk because you have nothing to fall back on besides the other qualifications you already owned. I would say getting a degree is a passport and assurance path to give people choices down the road. Do consider if you are willing to bear that risk.​​​

If you are risk-adverse, then of course having a degree is definitely the way to go. You may not even need to do honours, but you will need a degree for a better-paying regular job. A degree somewhat guarantees that future.

However, if you are quite sure that you are making good side income, and it demands more of your time, quitting studies need not be a bad thing. It can be an opportunity cost too. Afterall, you can continue your studies anytime!

Also seek opinions of your family, friends, and take considerations such as costs, time, how long more to complete degree and set short term plans.
