Hi all, Il make my story as short as possible.

I graduated here in Houston last year and decided to stay here instead of going to college to work. Half because i have a unique skill set with computers and was making alot of money, and also because i had a GF here i thought was worth staying for.

Well now that job has slowed down and ive started working for my dads. Also making great money and it has always been my plan to take over this company. And the GF end up being a ***** and way to needy so that fell through recently.

Now I’m contemplating going to Cu boulder where I’ve always wanted to go. I have always hated school with a passion. My last day of HS was a blessing. However now im thinking im missing out on so much by not going. The next 4 years i can go have fun and live life. Ive always loved CO, we have a few houses up there and ive competed in snow boarding and motor cross since ive been a little kid. Actually until i got with this girl for the last two years of my life i was extremely active and loved the out doors.

My only dilemma is will i enjoy it and if so how much. Im scared il go and just be overwhelmed by school and fail. Or that il get carried away partying and wanting to get out that i wont do great in school.

I have no college experience so im basing school on what HS was like and iit sucked…

Do i go to boulder and have a great 4 years
or
Do i stay here making 50K with a 20k a year pay increase with no cap.
(keep in mind this opportunity will be waiting for me in 4 years if i decide to go, I’m extremely blessed and grateful for what i have)

I also would have to make a huge adjustment, growing up in Houston and only visiting co i would have to totally re adjust to life in Co. Selling my car ( my pride and joy ) and re thinking life.

Guess im just looking for advice or support… thanks !!
