Hi, paws202, welcome to PsychCentral (PC).

If you are confused, I would stay with education and work on what you might want while you start the initial education, see if college is right for you and what you decide you want for your future. It is much harder to do college later, when you are otherwise involved in supporting yourself, maybe starting a family, wanting to be further along in a career. If you work on getting a skill/knowledge you can then work when you want but exploring the world, it is harder to work on honing skills that way? If you really want to travel, I would see if learning languages was right for you then you could travel and teach English, etc., combine the travelling with a way to pay for/sustain it.
