Unfortunately, this isn't a question HN can answer. It's not uncommon to be smart and not be cut out for school. The thing is that only you can determine if you're cut out for it. How much longer do you have in school? Can you stand to be in school for that period of time?

If you can get a degree, absolutely get one. It won't get you any jobs, but it will get your foot in the door. On the other hand, there are other (arguably better) ways to get your foot in the door, such as having a set of side projects that show your passion.
