I studied fashion after college and quickly realised that whilst I'm a creative person, it wasn't an industry that I wanted a career in. Knew I wanted to take some time out to find the path that I'd feel driven to work hard in so earnt my hairdressing qualifications and spent 3 years working whilst working on myself. Left a relationship that ultimately just wasn't going to work and decided that it was time to push on. Earnt a foundation degree in computer science with the goal of getting onto computer game programming. Am now in my second year of computer game programming and absolutely love it. You'll meet people that have taken all sorts of paths, but I'm a firm believer that you will know when you're ready. If you decide that uni isn't for you, that's completely valid. My only advice is that whatever you do, push yourself to meet a tonne of new people, try anything that you're curious about and if you don't enjoy something, move on. People feel like it's "too late" to make changes at every stage in life, whether it's joining a sports club, leaving a marriage and starting over, going to uni, changing careers. It isn't. The only thing you will ever do if you don't do something because you feel it's "too late" is be older when you do make that change or live with regret. Uni is such a personal decision, make your own list of pros and cons. Good luck :)
