All these college guys are enough to give an uneducated old truck driver an inferiority complex. My advice is take a year or two off and try a few different things even if they don't pay well at the entry level. If nothing else it give you a sense of what you don't like to do. My observation is by high school graduation most kids are overloaded with studying and can use the time away from the classroom to get a little balance. That said, a year or two is about the limit if you want to continue your education because much more than that and you tend to lose your study habits. Use that time off from school to find your passion. If you really love to do something chances are you can find someone to pay you for what you know and do. You have a whole lifetime ahead of you and you can count on changing your career at least a few times so stay open to possibilities. Pick up a bit of as many skills as you can, it's never wasted. As an example, I spent most of my life driving a truck, but I know how to wire a house, plumb it, do rough and finish carpentry, raise a garden, and many other practical things, even make clothes. I've used all those skills at one time or another even if for my own satisfaction rather than as a job. The guys have given you alot of more specific advice, I'm just giving you a general view from my observations and experience. Best of luck, take your time and enjoy the ride.
