I went through the exact same scenario in my last year of high school. I was so overwhelmed, fearful and anxious that I froze and did nothing. So, my only option was community college because I had not sent off any applications to any universities.

Before you decide, I would recommend to go and try to volunteer in the industry you are thinking of getting a degree for. Shop around and try as many as you can. Let the occupation find you, so to speak, rather than you finding the occupation.

That way, you have a better chance at doing what you love. And maybe you won't need a degree! Hope this helps
