Nothing wrong with knowing what you want to do at an early age - I chose ATC as my career when I was 14 and joined at 19 ( the age limit then) with no degree.
The advantage is that you have no debt and a long career ahead if you're successful , the disadvantage is listening to all your pals at uni going on about about how much fun and booze they're inbibing while you're swotting first at the college, then at your final unit training!
Go for it - if it doesn't work out, then still go to uni , and reapply
ScoobyDon't, I think that you used to need a degree in the 60's and 70's unless you had previous experience. It was only in the 80's it was dropped to having passed 2 A levels then in the late 80's was downgraded to only needing to have studied 2 A levels.
