I dropped out when I was 20. I had about a year and a half finished at the time. I regretted it at times, but not strongly enough until later on....I went back to school at age 33 and am finishing this December (I am 35 now). It's still a regret though, because I regret not finishing college around age 22 or 23. Don't ever take it for granted, just because you can always go back. It's true, you can always go back, but it's much better to finish when you are in your early or mid 20s. The rest of your life is so much better for it. I was in low-level jobs with bad pay for years. But it goes beyond what kind of job you have (and frankly, some college graduates will claim that a college degree did nothing for them). The truth is, regardless, you garner tons more respect for having a college degree.
