Yeah......go for it!!
In fact.......get your Dad to sign a guarantee with HSBC for 50k and go to the US for a year to somewhere like oh, i dunno, European Flight Training or one of the other JAA schools.
You can do the college thing at night when you get back. If you can do this now.....then do it. Don't procrastinate. Just get going!
PM me if you need further help.
Good luck!
