Mate,
I was in the same boat as you until i decided to opt out of uni.
I wanted the career far too much and wanted to get straight on with the training.
I never really had the desire to go to uni and so would have only gone to maybe slightly 'put me above the rest'.
I thought about it long and hard and decided that if i wanted to get straight on with the training then i should, and not waste my time doing a 3 year course that i didnt really want to be on.
Afterall, im going to be paying back the 60K+ from an integrated course till im 80, never mind an extra 15K of uni fees on top.
Basically, its up to you, uni has its +ve's and -ve's.
If you want it that much then go for it and get on with your training, if uni's still in the back of your head and you feel you should be going then mabe you should.
Hope ive helped to confuse the situation further for you!
Best of luck in what ever you decide.
