I agree with the posts above — do both.
If you absolutely must pick one over the other, then I would pick college. You’ll have a great time, you’ll make lifelong friends, and you might learn a few things in class, too. :tongue:
I think of my college days often. The workload for me was enormous — 12-15 hours a day in class or in the lab, 6-7 days week (for a chemical engineering degree). But if I could go back in time, I’d do it all over again.
