I don't want to take a course or do something that I don't want, what would be the point in that? It wouldn't be interesting or fun, it wouldn't be me.

Did you have some dream of doing something that really would take a long process of advanced education?

Not really. Just to be a Psychologist which can take at least 7 years, give or take.

If your dream was to be a big deal movie star, that might be unrealistic. It might be kind late to learn dramatic arts.

This isn't true, some people were kind of born to act or have a natural talent for it. There are many famous actors who never went to drama school AND started late.

It probably is too late to aim at being an Olympic champion marathon runner.

Depends on how good you are at running and how athletic you are.

If you started an academic program next fall, you would move along much easier that they can. You might be 2 or 3 years behind them in earning credits for courses, but you are already beyond a lot of them in your level of literacy. Five years from now, you might out-compete them in the job market. It can't be more than 3 years since you left secondary school. I think even Prince William took a year of traveling before he went to University. You are not seriously behind your age peers in any way, except in the area of gaining confidence. That confidence will come, if - and only if - you go try learning something and find that you can. And you will find that you can. I'll bet you did quite well in school when you attended.

I got basic grades. Mainly C's. School finished when I was 15/16, so it's been 4/5 years. If I went back to college and did a course, I would be older than most, seeing as they'll be around 16/17. A 3/4 year difference, doesn't seem like a big age difference to most people I guess but to me it does. I figured that by the time I'd be finished with College and Uni, I'd be at least 29. But I am thinking about going back to college, just not 100% sure yet :/.
