I have been reading your posts for a long time, including on the classic CC.

My thoughts are that right now you are not interested in going to college and are consequently not demonstrating the actions that show that you would be able to pass in college. Although it’s clear that you have the intelligence to be able to succeed in college, you don’t have the discipline nor motivation to do so.

I think that instead of going to college, you’d be better off pursuing your busness interests. If after doing that for a while, you become interested in college, then you could go to college fulltime or could go part time, just taking the courses that are interesting or useful to you.

Depending on their skills and interests, it is very possible for people to be very financially successful without college. Since, you seem to be more interested in financial success than in an academic education, and since you already are operating a successful business, I think it would be a waste of time and money for you to go to college next year.
