College is not for everyone, and it looks like you would be better off taking an apprenticeship in some decent trade.

College or University life is not really boring. It's only boring if all you do is sit in your room and don't socialize. Also, remember that the point of college is to help you get a better job than you would get with just a high school diploma. This is why it's sometimes not affordable.
To make your life more easy try starting at a community college it is much cheaper.
Hope I helped.

in theory, you don't need a college education to get a job. however, it does help a lot, and it will significantly raise your salary. without one your looking at entry level positions where you will be the grunt worker. with a degree, you have a much higher chance at getting a higher paying job. in regards to your "it's boring" argument, the classes in college are ones that you choose, and they're not the super rigid curriculum ones high schools have, some colleges have English classes that are completely focused on book series like harry potter and the hunger games. in college you get to choose exactly what you learn, and what time you have the class.

You're right. To succeed in school, you have to fall in love with where you are and what you're studying.
There are two other things to consider. One is to get a firm, good recommendation of a trade school where you can learn computer repair, computer systems security, computer systems maintenance or some such where you can get interested. Be careful, because there are a lot of fly-by-night outfits out there.
The second is that you approach a local plumbing, electrician, building construction, or heating, ventilation & air conditioning company to ask how you can learn that trade and get licensed.

So what you're actually saying is that you'd like to work a menial, minimum-wage job for the rest of your life with no chance of advancement or ever being able to support yourself?
Sounds like you have a lot of growing up to do, which is fine. You'll go to college one day when you realize how it all works.

Yea I think that it might be better not to go to university for some things :) take Alan sugar for example he didn't go to university and he is rich so I don't now what that person is saying at the top I think you can make a good living from not going to university but certain things you will need to like if you wanna be a doctor or something then yes you need to go but yes certain things you wont need to and many famous people got rich by not going

doesnt the big 4 accounting firms offer apprenticeships?
tradeskilling is good, and you could set up a buisness afterwards, while althose collegemorons who study sociLOLogy are in $75k debt and useless piece of paper. while you have 100k in the bank with a few more years could set up your own buisness
