Theatre without a degree?

I know this is College Confidential, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with moving to NY and not being in school? I’m a rising sophomore at a school in the city and I have a lot of friends and I’m doing well academically but I’m having serious doubts about if I want to stay. I’m a theatre design major and I think I made a mistake in choosing the program I’m in. I don’t feel like I’m getting my money’s worth and if anything, I feel like the school is holding me back. I just don’t know many people around my age who have done the “school of life” thing so I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts they could share?
