Advice needed, (decision making)

Ok im 19 and still living at home. Im half way through my third year studying contemporary music and have learned all that i need to earn a comfortable wage with music as well as being able to work part/full time elsewhere. The only thing left of the course is a load of stressful assignments all for a piece of paper that i dont need to work in the industry (and is barely recognised anyway).

Ive got a lot of problems at home and need to move out (but cant due to a lack of money and full time college).

Do I quit college, get a job and move out.

or...

Put up with a lot of stress at home, lots of written work until july and then get a job and move out.

Please help

but i seriously cant live here any more, my problems at home are affecting my health, making me unhappy almost to the point of depression and I dont think ill be able to finish my college work. If I fail one unit, I fail the course and i've got two assignments that are a month overdue.

I'd say that option. If you drop out you'll look back and realise that a few months isn't long at all. Stay in there til July.

What exactly do you mean by that?

I've learnt all the skills needed to work in covers bands, session work, composition, teaching etc.

Stick it out.
I was in your postion in 5th year at school. I was ill with the arguments between me and my family, things were going bad at school, it was terrible. But I'm glad I stuck it now.

If you drop out now you'll have NOTHING to show for it, well, except that you can't stick anything through.

Ill have everything I need except a piece of paper that I know for sure i wont need
