its completely your choice mate

although i dropped out of college soon after starting, got a full-time job i hated earnin £3.50 an hour (then £4.77 when i was 18) and was fucked around by bosses etc. an generally it took the piss

after a year of that soul-destroyin monotomous shit, and facing the prospect of doin fuck all but mashin myself up in a whirlwind of low-self esteem each and every night, my brother gave me a hull uni prospectus and there was a foundation award one day a week with no entry requirements

year later i had passed that and it got me into leeds met, lovin it here atm

basically i would say definitely stay in some form of education
