<p>The more stuff you put on your resume between the current moment and dropping out, the less important that blip will be. Depending on the path you choose, you may eventually find that you need to finish your degree to get to a certain level, but I don't think you're totally "screwed" right now.</p>
<p>As a person who does "creative" work, I want to mention two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Many people/businesses/etc don't want (or don't think they need) to hire people specifically to do creative work, but if you bring those skills to the table while also being able to do the job they're hiring for, you will most likely be called on to use them. Sometimes this means they'll overwork or take advantage of you (and you have to watch out for that), but sometimes it means you can eventually carve out a new position for yourself that uses the skills you really value. Either way, you're getting resume-ready professional experience using those skills that might help you get the next, better gig. Getting into an office job doing WHATEVER (data entry, being an assistant to an assistant, interning) is a decent start.<br /><br /></li>
<li>"Creative" people are often expected to be jacks of all trades, and you might get more traction if you can claim some basic expertise in another discipline (like graphic design, basic html/css, copywriting, marketing, etc).</li>
</ul>
<p>You might check out what positions are open at local universities. Once you're in a system like that (no matter the position), it can give you access to a lot of new opportunities. They often have programs where employees can work on their own degrees for free or discounted.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
