This is true, however not seeking employment right away after graduation looks worse. Gaps during school can be explained because not everyone has the finances or circumstances to make it to graduation in one shot, but if you graduate then take a year or two off to play poker there is no way you can justify this in a job interview that won't make you sound lazy and indifferent to your chosen field of study.

I would strongly suggest finishing college come hell or high water, it might feel like a waste of time right now but having a degree gives you a backup plan. Education is never a waste of time, I'm not going to get into the debate about whether or not college is worth the price because that's different for every individual, but I will say that in the end you will most likely regret not getting the degree much more than you will regret actually getting it. I returned to college after more than 10 years away and because I was gone for so long I lost catalog rights, which meant that some of the classes I had already taken no longer applied to my major requirements and I couldn't use them for degree credit.
