   My advice:   
      
   Get yourself kicked out of school or take the plunge and leave   
   altogether. Live on your own (this is critical). Work 60+ hrs per week   
   for a year or two. See if you like what you can get in terms of the life   
   you can live. If you like it, then who cares? If you don't then now you   
   know what happens if you continue farting around. The question you will   
   have to answer for yourself is what lifestyle/status really makes you   
   happy and what level of education will enable you to live that life.   
      
   The biggest problem is that if you continue to get by in your situation,   
   you will continue to do so. School is a relatively easy and safe life to   
   live, and you will just continue to coast as you always have,   
   particularly if you haven't had to personally pay for it. Complacency is   
   always something we have to watch out for...   
      
   There is no easy answer. You have to find your own, and what works for   
   you and your character...   
      
   Good luck to you...
