A huge portion of getting a decent job or freelance work is getting your name out there and building experience by finishing projects.
College was a great place for me to meet people with connections in the field. I dropped out when one of the adjunct professors hired me, that lead to a job at an agency, more freelance work, relevant experience, etc. I eventually finished the degree years later (mostly just to do it). So yeah, send out the portfolios and see what happens. People should let you know what they are looking for. Often it takes time so I wouldn't drop out without having something concrete to go on.
