I got my 3 year degree in 2 years and since we're in Italy it was really easy - I could have spent my time in better ways.
But the point is I probably would not have done that, college teaches you some basic things about IT (or business or what you want) that you wouldn't study on your own because they're basically too boring and you might be too busy doing other things (being it working for you, for someone else or even doing wonderful things)
Also college "woke me up", when I first started (actually I spent the first semester playing cards ALL DAY :) I didn't know what I was gonna do with my life - probably work for someone.
I'm not sure if this was gonna happen anyway or it was that for the first time I knew I could take save time in college rushing the coursers.
So if you already got "the balls" and think you are mature enough to build something awesome, then do it and skip college.
But please don't skip college to be depressed after 6 months and work for a big corp, since you seem to hate it.
