You'd be far better off sacrificing and going to school because honestly, I don't think you understand this business and will most likely, end up working a job you hate for the rest of your life.
Food for thought.

I attend MU right now where I'm earning a BA : Sociology major, Journalism minor. I'll always do something I like.
I work very hard in an unconventional way; I'm already a success on some levels, in my (and many other people's) eyes, first by surviving...second, by continuing to smile. I like my life already, and am having a good time. My daughter loves me; I just bought her her first guitar, she's 4 1/2 and loves music (Dixie Chicks, The Beatles, and White Stripes are her faves. And the O Brother sndtrk)...everything on top of all this is gravy. We play out damn near every weekend, and that also part of what is taking so long to get the record done.
It's not a be-all, end-all for me to 'make it' by solely playing music; I iust figure to give it one real shot before I'm too old. Rather regret something I did, than something I didn't do* (I think the Butthole Surfers said that.)
that being said, I respect your opinion as someone with industry experience and also simply as a person who loves music, so I appreciate any and all feedback.
So many people, even at my age, have become so jaded that they quit being actual fans of music, so that's just sad. I don't ever want to be that guy...
I'm a music fan, first a foremost.
