Honestly, you may enjoy it a lot more at a 4 year school. I feel like community college is more like high school, where at a 4 year university you are immersed in the college experience and are able to enjoy your time more.
I HATE college

Working for others is where most of us start, with or without a degree. Where the serious $$$ is, as well as the freedom, is being self employed! Find something you love to do, and if it involves getting a degree, so be it, but just remember a degree isn't always necessary or even helpful in some cases.
Our forefathers for the most part, didn't come to America to "get a job"! They came here to be free and to work for themselves!

Come over to Australia, blue collared workers out earn white collar types most of the time.
IMO thinking outside the square, financial sense, business sense, understanding how businesses run/work/fail/succeed is far more important than a college degree unless of coarse your studying an MBA or similar.

College is not for everyone but school is a hell of a lot better than working 9-5 everyday if your parents are willing to pay.
Well I don't know if you've been to college at al but I really disliked highschool yet to an extent "enjoy" college, It is a much more adult atmosphere where both teachers and students show respect towards eachother. Theres no asking permission to leave class and if you want to go to class is up to you,although some teachers set a limit on the numberof absences before they make you withdraw. But all in all everything I disliked about highschool was no longer a problem in college.

ive been out of school for 5yrs now. looking back, going to school fulltime and working was very difficult, but the payoff is worth it. im 27 making 3/4 of a six figure salaryD), more than double of my friends that didnt go to school. i know guys working at the same place for YEARS with no degree that make half of what i do. dont let people tell you school isnt worth it.
a college degree opens up the doors for the good jobs. ive been at my current job for only 9 months. the career/salary opportunities are endess really. i'm only just getting started
What do you do if you dont mind me asking

ABSOLUTELY! Very good post!
I'd suggest you lighten up on your college workload for a semester or so, but don't quit altogether. Most people never make it back once they quit.
The hard truth is you need to get educated, whether in a specific field or just general business. Even if you want to run your own business eventually you'll need a solid business background. Sure, you could muddle through it if you're particularly bright, but that'd just delay your eventual success.
There's no reason to overload yourself, but keep working at it! It'll be over before you know it!
