You've made a smart decision, my friend. Always strive to be proactive and take what you want in life.
Unfortunately, society demands too much out of those of us with a MI. They expect us to work like everybody else and either go to college or work for slave wages when all we should be doing is focusing on improving ourselves and following our passions.
Do what makes you happy. **** what other people especially society as a whole thinks.
I wish you the best
