Is it wrong I don't want to study for four years?

I don’t think anyone has mentioned another time-honored way to study for less than four years – get into the best college program you can, work and study hard, and if you feel the same way after two years, take a leave of absence. Or burn your bridges and drop out, period. Lots of actors didn’t finish their degrees, sometimes because they got cast in something great, sometimes for other reasons. (Robin Williams got kicked out of Juilliard.)

Of course you might find once you are there that you want to stay. But you would have more options.

In the business world, people care a lot about whether a job candidate completed a degree. I don’t know how casting directors see it.
