In my travels through higher education, I have found that the best students are inevitably those who are genuinely interested in the subject material. If you find your true calling amongst the myriad of academic options, you will be successful. Otherwise, I imagine it would be hard to aspire to do better than C-level work.
There's nothing wrong with you: you are just pursuing courses of study that don't grab your attention. If I were you, I would ask whether you believe you are more likely to find a subject you are passionate about by staying in school or by going out into the workforce. Keep in mind that getting a degree in something that doesn't particularly interest you might nonetheless open up doors that lead you to a career path that does interest you.
One final note: if you drop out of school, you should be aware that it is fairly likely you will never return. I would be cautious about making that decision...

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
