I understand your feelings. Not everyone is cut out for college. Tuition is also just too expensive these days to waste money on it if you aren't really committed to your studies.

The problem is that the lack of a university education will vastly limit your opportunities. You didn't mention what you intend to do as a career. You can't just float through life, dude, on a wing and a prayer. You need a plan. So yes, pass on going to college for now (you can always go later if you change your mind), but try to use your employment in a directional way so that you aren't just tramping around whatever minimum wage position that becomes available but leads nowhere.

Why dont you try a technical school ? Idk whether your a girl or a boy, but you can do massage therapy, or cosmetology. Those licenses are way cheaper than a university, most go for like 4-7 grand, depending location and popularity, but its a good starting job. You can get a job at a chiropractors office giving massages, at a spa, at retirement homes, pretty much anywhere you choose to network yourself, and the license only takes about 9 months if you schedule it right. if you dont like massage, look into other licenses you can get ! hope that helped!

Hey there :)
Of course that's totally normal! University isn't for everyone. Never be made feel like you won't be good enough if you don't go and get some high class degree.
Do what makes you happy in life.
If that means getting out there and starting work straight away well then do it! Don't worry what people will say or think. Society will always judge.
There is a need for regular 9-5 workers out there for the jobs somebody has to do and those people aren't given enough credit in life. Like store clerks managers waitresses etc.
You say it's not the best but why isn't it?
If its the best thing for you then surely that's good enough?
Don't listen to crap from people who make judgmental comments like oh he or she didn't go to college. It's just not for some people and that's okay.
I'm heading to college but that's because I have to to achieve the job that I really want to do in life so did my eldest sister. But my other sister never went to college and my mom and dad had no problem with that either as long as she was happy. She loves kids and started taking care of them for a living so it's fine not to want to go to university!
Do what makes you happy.
Hope this helps :)
Much <3
