I'm so confused...I just need to talk to somebody.

Take it from an oldie like me, i had the opportunity to go to university ,but i decided against it, i have regretted my decision to this very day, and always will, please put your education first ,the land and the horse will always be there at sometime stage in your life, but studying when you are older is just doing it the hard way, make it easier on yourself, put in the hard work now , and reap in the benefits later on, you will have your horse and land that i am sure of. GOOD LUCK.

Everyone gave wonderful advice, so, I won't continue on that path.

The one thing I thought immediately about your post was, "well, one thing sounds like a long-term goal and the other sounds like a short term goal". I think as long as you pursue that long term goal (education/teaching), you can do the short term things on the way!

Good luck!

Well I am late chiming in, so it looks like you have already made up your mind That's great! I went through the same thing, and ended up going to college and getting my degree. I don't regret it for a second. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

One other thing I wanted to point out is that even if you can't take your whole degree program at a community college, you could probably take some of your general education classes there. That's what I did, and I saved a bundle. You could even take classes at both places (2 at university, 2 at community or something like that) at the same time if you want. Usually community colleges work very well with universities. I completely recommend that (and, my degree doesn't say 'Westmoreland County Community College and University of Pittsburgh,' just 'University of Pittsburgh.') I am always in favor of community colleges!

If you ever need to talk about any of this, just PM me - I've been there!

Thanks so much everyone! You are all so encouraging as to what would be best for me. I believe you are all right when saying education is the right path I should go. Soo. I am going to go ahead with University!

I just kept saying to myself...after University I will still be young and then be able to get a horse and possibly live on my parent's land...and that those years at University will probably go by very fast.

And the community college thing is a good idea too, I should check and see if they do that here too

Once again thanks so much everyone, I mean you mean so much because you are all the people who made me feel better and made me make the dicision without getting so depressed over it. You made me see things that I wasn't seeing. I hope you all have a great day!

I'm not sure what I would do but being a teacher is not on my list so the parents thing would work for me lol! .. I mean owning a horse for me would be a dream come true .. next to owning a zebra lol.

Too bad your not part native otherwise University would be completly free!

I have the chance to go to college, University ect .. but it's not for me.

Too bad I can't give you my chance lol.
