Problem is my old man is going a bit crazy, hes saying i have to go to uni and do this and that, i understand its only because he wants whats best for me, but thats not what i need i cant be him or live his dreams for him. We've gotten into actual fights about it and its bringing me down and hes saying hes gonna kick me out of the house and stuff any advice?

Once you've settled and made the nest, bred and the rest, you'll look back and wander were the hell life went. I say go now, go hard and live your dreams.

As a business owner at 33, I would say that education is more important than travel...but, because of the nature of my job and the fact that I love what I do....that is easy for me to say. No matter what you choose, remember that your parents have always tried to steer you in the right direction and during this time in your life, I am sure they are going to do that same thing. In the end, however, you have to do what your heart tells you to do and be willing to accept whatever rewards OR ramifications that come along with it. Julienne

Ive been told that i made the australia team for football and that we're going to america next year, i also got told that i stand a good chance of getting a football scholarship in hawaii. Im in the rural firbrigade and that could put me in with a good chance at the firebrigade. theres heaps i want to do overseas and my mum and sister and rest of my family live back in the UK i have no idea what i do.

Take the money get the education and then wonder. It is hard to get those paid experiences later in life. Besides college provides a lot of fun experiences in itself, and Hawaii at that, you go kid.
