I agree with Barry Cuda, I did a year of uni before deciding that the course wasnt for me, but the lifestyle was fantastic. Ok so you were pretty poor most of the time and you racked up a bit of debt but I had more fun in that one year than at any other time on my life.
After that I went on to discover ATC and its a damnn rewarding career, but it will wait for you.
Whatever you choose, Goodluck
