I did the college thing, it was a nice experience! I'm not sure what exactly I learned, though. Most of it didn't stick, right? That was years ago.
Worth it just for that, though! The partying and the social bits. And the learning, if you like that. You're a people person, aren't you? Maybe hospitality or something? Business? Shoppe life might be more suited to you if you owned it yourself?
