This is an interesting question. One thing I'll say is that having a four year degree will give you many more options in life than not having one. What if you decide that you want to get out of the music business ten years from now? It's difficult for many people to find a satisfying job without a degree.
I agree with the others who said that your goals may change over time. My story is a case in point. I have a degree in Management Information Systems and was a software analyst for 2 year after college. During that time, my priorities changed, and I'm currently in a post-bac program to become a high school teacher.
This is an option I wouldn't have had without the 4 year degree.
And college is about much more than getting a job. You'll learn a lot about the world and yourself. It might be possible to attend school and start your business at the same time.
Good luck with your decision!
