I don't think I would ever recommend anyone to drop out. If they do, it must be because they are really sure it's the right thing for them.

I never finished my 6-year CS college degree. I had been making commercial games since high school, and during college I was collaborating with researchers, working part-time at a bank and also doing freelance videogame work in whatever time was left. Once I realized I would never pursue an academic career and I had been exposed to "enough" different subjects (I had already completed the first four years and some stuff from 5th and 6th year), my motivation to keep studying for grades disappeared. Something had to give.

Funnily enough, I have been involved with projects, lectured and taught subjects at most universities in my city, but never the one I studied at.
