I graduated high school last year and took some university courses for a semester before dropping out. Now I've been working and was planning to go back to university and study a program and graduate and get a diploma and all that, but I became unsure during the summer. I'm really not that interested in studying. I was going to study engineering but I have no real interest in math or simulation or whatever.

I realized I want to do fun things while I'm still young, I can start college at 21 or 23 or any other time but of course it has drawbacks. I will be older than most students and will miss out on work experience compared to others my age. I'm in a European country so there are still many people who wait until that age before they start studying.

What I really wanna do is surf, sail, travel and ski. I was thinking a working holiday in Australia would be perfect. I could live in towns near the sea, surf and enjoy nice weather while the weather over here in northern Europe would be freezing. I could travel around and meet people and work shitty jobs and see things. I could also use this time to figure out what I wanna do/study afterwards.

I'm having a really hard time deciding if I should go to university now, study a couple of years and then take a gap year and work and travel or if I should do it now and go to uni next year or if I shouldn't do it at all and just wait until I have a real job to go on vacations. What is your advice?
