So I was recently offered a career in Life annuity and Insurance sales, at a pretty prominent company in my area, It goes along with my business major. I'm 20, and I'm in college, bored out of my mind with it, tired of being broke, and tired of being dependent so much on my parents, because no regular job seems to pay enough and give enough hours to allow me to do this. I can easily graduate in 2009 with no real work experience, hopefully making 35,000 a year. My parents are against me having a career right now because they think i'm really into school, but i'm not! I loathe it, and only continue to go so that they will support me until I can support myself, they just want me to work a regular job at the mall or something which I DON'T WANT! any real advice?

Very much so, ask that company if they would offer some assistance to your degree program, since that would make you a better employee for them in the long run. Use those business skills, but don't abandon schooling. Your school might help you if you, for some reason get laid off of work for some unknown corporate reason and you have to knock on other people's doors looking for employment.
Will another company take you in with no degree? Hopefully your parents aren't the only ones telling you to stick with your schooling.

depends how good the job offer is. Is it something with a fixed salary and social benefits or would all or part of your salary come from commissions? In the latter case I would forget it.
Also what kind of training do they offer and why do they offer you the job without a finished degree? If that all sounds good I'd go for the job after you finished your current semester or year. You can always come back and finish your degree later, hopefully after you know what you want. You can also be a part time student and e.g. do just night classes.
Another question you should ask yourself is how good your grades are. If they are very good, despite you are bored finishing your degree may be worth it, if they are bad, your degree won't be that useful anyway. Though usually people who hate their studies don't do as good as if you like what you do.
In addition the university has career counselors and before you make any final decision you should set up an appointment with them and see what they have to say.
