Default Anyone leave their job and go abroad??

Well, it's not a job. It's a school. I may not be able to finish out the four years here and I'm seriously considering going abroad for a year, maybe two if I can't. But it sounds lame but I'm terrified of this because a. I don't have any money, the school I'm at now means you can't work and b. what happens when I finish travelling? What do I do? Just go back to school? And how would i plan it all out??
Has anyone done this? I'm so conflicted about it. I've looked at helpx.net and WWOOFing. I think I would rather do a hostel but work for money. I don't know what to do. In a way I really love the path I'm on. I want to be a doctor but I'm afraid it won't work out. On the other hand I love travelling and I'm worried that I won't ever be able to travel and do all these things that I want to do. I want the experience of working abroad. I want to see and party and do. I don't know.
What would yáll do??

"I set out alone, finding no companion to cheer the way with friendly intercourse, and no party of travellers with whom to associate myself. Swayed by an overmastering impulse within me, and a long-cherished desire to visit those glorious sanctuaries, I resolved to quit all my friends and tear myself away from my home."
---Ibn Battuta, CE 1325
