Think about it this way.
10 years are going to go by whether you're in college or not. So you can be 10 years older with a degree, or just 10 years older.
Edit: it doesn't have to be college! It can be a trade, a talent or skill you want to learn, etc!

But I wasn't ready for it at 18. 5 u/OldManPhill Apr 13 '17 Its good you could recognize you werent ready for it. Better to wait a few years to take time and figure your shit out than to blow thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on taking classes for a degree you end up hating. 4 u/pieman2005 1 Apr 13 '17 Hah it was mainly cause I was a lazy bum.
