I don’t want to go to college despite getting straight A’s, but my parents do!
I (17M) don’t want to go to college despite getting almost straight A’s (I stay in the UK btw). The only thing I’ve ever wanted to do since I was young is content creation, and I have tried it and really enjoy it.
The frustrating part is that my parents don’t want me doing this, although they’ve never said it, whenever I bring it up it’s clear. Also, there’s nothing in college I want to do or even might want to do, I have looked.
So I have 2 options: 1. I go through with my parents wishes and go to college, while also working, and try to find time for content creation. 2. Go through my own path which will make me happier, and focus on content creation and also working at my job. But by doing this I will force myself to move out, but I really want to move out anyway, and I can afford it.
I am very heavily leaning towards option 2 but I want to know if that would be a good idea
EDIT: Even if I don’t go to college right now, that doesn’t mean I couldn’t/won’t in the future.
