Go through with college. Put that intelligence to good use, it will pay of more than you expect in later years. Most people that drop-out usually end up at mcdonalds flipping patties for minimum wage.

Sleeping all day in schook doesn't make you intelligent. You might learn something you didn't know wierd... isn't that what school does?
Anyhow,
Get your headshot taken... a pic of you black and white. Bust and up or just the face. Make sure the agents can see your hair. Then write up a resume to match. If you have never done anything, just leave your contact info, and any skills you have including jumping from helicopters to typing. Take it in person to the local casting agency. Go audition for plays. Pay attention in your English class For seriously. Also, if you don't have good grades, you won't be cast in shows at University level, and remember that you can still be an actor at age 104 just as easily at age 14. Also, look up improv workshops and teams. If you move to America, the greatest things for you would be in LA. Take classes at "The Improv" There's one in every major city, I think. Also, You can sign up as an "Extra" in any movies that come to your town at your local casting agency. If the director likes you, he will give you lines in the show and a "Sag Card" This is your permission to be paid as a professional actor for as long as you pay your dues to be in the Screen Actors Guild union.

Ok, you are 14 and think that you know it all and that is ok. Now remember if you want to be an entretainer, specially a commedian you have to have knowledge, not just to tell jokes, but to monitor your career and money. Have you ever heard about marketing, accounting, expenses, commitions, taxes, affiliations etc. Remember the entretaining business is the same as other business and people who doesn't posses the business knowledge never go that far and those who do are paying a lot of money to the ones who do know. Now can you tell me a single mother joke, how about a peruvian joke, a brazilian joke, mexican joke.... you see, you don't know them and in order to make fun of somebody or someone you should know what they are about. Now can you please tell me what is the least expensive form of energy? LOL you still have a lot to learn. There is a point where you are going to be performing in front of people and that people would ask you to tell them a joke about hydroelectric, political, social, even national and unless you know you would not make it. Remember it is not hard to start a business, but hard to keep yourself on it.

Well for starters, being highly intelligent is hard to deal with. You may dislike school purely because you are bored with it, however to get pretty much anywhere in life, including the entertainment industry, you need to at least finish high school. I would also look to your school counselor to maybe provide you with a career assesment test to see where you fit and go from there...worked for me, and I'm a friggin genius...lol

It's cool to stay in school. You'll be able to figure out what you want to do easier with more education. Try drama classes. You're only 14, got loads of time to make it big.'

It looks like you have a fine career ahead of you as a capering bum.
Funny and entertaining but the pay sucks.
