I've lost all motivation for school, what should I do?

Question

I'm in the first year of sixth form at my school, and I have zero motivation for my classes. I thought that sixth form would be better than high school was, because I only had to do the subjects that I wanted to do, but after the first term of the first year, my optimism has vanished. I suppose some context is necessary, so here it is: I want to be a musician, I have no ambition to be anything other than a musician, I have backup plans of course, but I would consider my life a failure if they ever become necessary. I am that dedicated to being in the music industry. There are two reasons I went to sixth form in the first place - If I didn't, I would have had to get a full time job which is a problem because there aren't any, and because it's even more time consuming than school. The other reason is Music Technology, the only lesson that isn't painfully dull. But even Music Tech is starting to lose it's luster, I feel like I'm being restricted in my abilities as a performer, writer and producer, rather than enhanced and trained as I should have been. The course is far too structured and rigid for me. The worst thing about it is that I feel like I could make so much more progress musically if I didn't have any commitments in the day.

So there are a few options:
- Carry on even though I despise every second of it.
- Leave school and work solely on my musical ambitions. (Risky, but my favourite option)
- Leave school and get a job. (No better really)
- Try and do something to hate it less. (Don't know what though)

Help? What would you do?

You know exactly what you want to do. In your heart there is something that your gonna do regardless of what a group  of strangers say. So do what you want to do, and to me  it sounds like you want to leave school and work on your music career. Even if you don't get anywhere which I am almost positive you will if your good and don't give up at least you can say you tried. Good luck!   :)
