I read an interesting story a while ago that I wish I had read (or been advised in a similar fashion) when I was a little younger: http://sivers.org/kimo

tl;dr “the standard pace is for chumps” - that the system is designed so anyone can keep up. If you're more driven than “just anyone” - you can do so much more than anyone expects. And this applies to ALL of life - not just school.

It is hard for me to give you specific advice without knowing a lot more details, but staying in education is usually not a bad idea if there are things you can get out of it. If you are well ahead of your peers, what stops you working in your spare time on side projects that do interest you, or brings in money?
