Get your degree so that you will have a future! Please!
FIRST will be there when you are done.

For instance, the job I got after divorce I juggled 3 people's job cuz of their being sick or other reasons for long term. I got a $500 bonus. The new person, only doing one of the jobs, got paid much better than I right off the bat cuz of years at that kind of job.
I always did 3 times the quota as records analyst at Vegas Yucca Mtn Project.
Over and over others made @$10,000 more a year than I because they had a degree, even if it was a degree in Japanese history.
I tell my kids get a degree - forever after no matter what the degree is in, it will help you get a step up.
Life will always offer crossroads. Many things I did, arresting shoplifters, analyzing indexing records for Nuclear Waste, Catholic High School Youth Minister...all gave me skills I use today in life and robotics.
Much like FIRST has probably given you valuable skills for life and work.
Sounds like you need to take the time to concentrate on college. You can always return to FIRST, having been enriched by your time away.
Spending years at something doesn't mean you must do that forever, or that if something you've done for a long time ends means the years spent doing it was a waste. Life is about change.
