Your first paragraph alone seems to tell the whole story:
"The money is good, but I do not find my work fulfilling and wish I had more time towards my projects"
I think you need to weigh in which of the options available would really help you realize the fulfillment that you want. Do you want to finish schooling, or do you want to work on a side project?
Believe me, a lot of people would want to be in your shoes right now. Your statements borders on the edge of two spectrum - that is, you got a stable (at least) and financially rewarding career right now without any degree under your belt, and on the other end, you want to get a degree, sacrificing what you currently have and by the end of your schooling, could potentially drain your financial standing.
I know it must be a stretch, but would it be possible for you to add more to your options? Option no 3 could go something like:
Continue working and finish schooling part-time. Dedicate some time to work on your side project(s). After graduation, weigh in the options you have and if you feel that working more on your side project(s) would provide you with the happiness and fulfillment you need, then go for it.
I don't want to go to the notion of "following your passion" or "build the future", etc. What I would suggest is for you to understand your situation and choose what you believe would be the best option given all circumstances. Life happens and as it evolves, it changes.
Best of luck.
P.S.
Find the time to tell your story a few years down the road, and which choice(s) you've made. Regardless of the outcomes, there's definitely a lot of learning and good stories to share..
