I say definately go to school. Rescuing, breeding and showing dogs will still be here for you to do after you're done school. I've heard that the average person goes through 6 careers in their life. One day, you might decide that what you once loved to do isn't for you anymore. Also, showing, rescuing and breeding costs quite a bit! Most breeders don't make much of a profit from breeding. You'll most likely have to work and the better the education you have, the easier it is to find a good paying job.

So my opinion is, go to school.
