Mind you, one can even attend a 6thform after a gap year--someone in one of my lessons did so... he was unemployed for quite a while in that year, and is quite determined to get through college and not let it happen again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that it's a worthwhile thing to do, even if you don't think you'll do well; even if you won't do well. Going to college and getting even low grades will show a lot about your determination to better yourself, and you'll certainly be more experienced when you leave, thus better equipped for whatever job it is you were going to apply for straight away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, EMAs don't require that you do well in college; just that you attend. In other words, you can get the money for going, even if it's not important to you. While there, you might pick up something useful anyway--in which case hooray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another thing to take into account is that now you've (assuming I'm what I'm saying applies to you--you know who you are) left school, you have a whole lifetime to chop and change, whereas going to college is (usually) best done early, so as to get a good start in life. It's very much one of those you won't know until you try situations, and you can drop out if you don't like it; far better you do this than not try it, I'd say.
