Is it necessarily always a bad idea to drop out of college?

Unless you've got the skills of Kanye West... I wouldn't do it.
You can't just hang in there? Get your degree, it'll be worth it. Like it was said, pace yourself. Don't over do it as far as course loads goes.

What do you plan on doing if you drop out? If you have a good/plausable alternative route compared to going to college, than I'm sure it wouldn't be a bad choice at all. The problem is actually finding a better path than getting a degree...
Remember, you can always get your degree, and then CHOOSE not to use it. It's always a good idea to have a backup plan.

if you have to ask, then it is. Unless your 100% confident in what your going into, I would recommend staying in and getting that degree.

Dropping out was the best decision I have ever made. I currently make 74.88/hr doing what I love.

I'd say try and finish. Once you get a degree, it's something you'll have the rest of your life.
There are those who have done well without one. However they still could have done the same WITH one. The opposite is not always true. There are a lot of jobs nowadays which require a degree.

I didn't drop out, but I definitely went part time and took a few semesters off. I just didn't really know what I wanted to do. Every one gave me shit for it, but I am finishing my degree, doing something I love, and I am going to apply to some PhD programs in the fall.
You need to do what's best for you. If you always do what is right for you mentally, physically, and financially, you will get where you want to be.
