Advice for an Electrical Engineering drop out?

Hey YA community

So I'm proud to say I made it all the way to linear algebra -one class beyond diff eq. I took all the calc based physics I needed & all that circuit jazz. Today might be my last day. Looking around, there wasn't a lot of us left. I'm looking to join that group, but not because of poor grades or my disinterest in physics; I just want some raw experience. I want to sell my belongings, hop in my Honda, & take off from Minnesota to somewhere…

I have $4k in my savings. I went to a community college my first year half, so I owe Sallie Mae [only] $9k. I have a grace period after the end of the semester so I have quite a bit of time & I'll probably open up another account, stick a grand or two in it & set up automated payments & forget about that ***** for a while.

What should I do? Where should I go?

I want to head somewhere warm. My dream was to go into research, maybe find a substitute for silicon. The world could use a new transistor. Reality is… It's just too out of reach for me. Undergrad >> grad school… Uhh & the $$$.

Now my dream is to go out on my own & btw, I'm kicking myself for not tossing the breadboard aside & gone straight into programming. I am clever. How long you think it'd take me to learn how to develop apps? 2 years? I have a few ideas…

Btw, I'll be leaving Uni on good terms. I mean, I'll have failed this semester's courses because I'll stop going but I don't think the instructors here care.
