It sounds like your mind is nearly made up already, but you're just afraid that you might later regret dropping out. Try and get an appointment with the Dean to see if you can take a semester or a year off of college, and come back if your other endeavors don't work as planned. My friend did the same thing (for 1 semester, not sure if it will apply to longer lengths of time) and it wasn't too hard for him to do.
