Four years (at least) when you can learn as much as you want about the things you're interested in while not having to be bothered too much by other people and if you're lucky you won't have to work as well.

You don't have college in Australia? Are you off the beaten track? I am too. I am enrolled in an online program.

We don't have colleges in Murray Bridge. Dunno about the rest of Australia.

Could you check and see if Australia has online college programs? They're huge and growing exponentially in the US.

Isn't there an adult who can help you with such things?

My daughter is about to graduate from high school and that's all we talk about these days. She changes her mind on a daily basis, which is why we talk about it every day :?

Some people think college is a series of hoops designed to demonstrate that you are trainable.
