if you really hate it and don't care about the whole college experience it's possible to save yourself sometime. If you know the basic skills of whatever career you want to go into, just start applying. Tbh, this pretty much only works in computer science as if you're driven then you can learn everything on your own. Plenty of large silicon valley corps/start-ups have hired ppl like that. You wouldn't necessarily miss out on the social factor as you could join a club at some nearby college n explain your story.. If you have a decent network of current professionals that can vouch for your skills then it's even easier..
As to what you were saying about tech making things worse, I kinda agree. I used to do everything myself and have almost no distractions, but since I became more immersed in using tech, my productivity has gone down. The friends part isn't really dependent on that as that comes down to your own willingness to put yourself out there... I've started cutting back on most of my distractions and use very few services I used to. You could also get a blackberry, they're used in the prof. setting often in high finance and dont really make you want to use common distractions. What's your major btw?
