I am in a Dillemma right now, please help! I am trying to choose between the two of these scenarios which will become my entire life about 7 months from now:


Option A:
(fun couple years but distinct possibility of less successful career)

- Go to college
- receive a certificate that will allow me to pretty much only work at a handful of maybe not-incredibly-successful sound recording studios most likely around Ontario (namely Toronto)
- live 2 years of what I've heard will be the best times of your life in College (how am I to know if that is true though?)
- $22,000 over 2 years (only have to worry about $11,000 each year)while living on campus with restaurants just outside my front door, free TV, free fridge, free couches, free bed, free T3 internet, free satellite, free bus pass, free gym membership, basically luxery while learning


Option B:
(really poor, hungry, and mentally testing year with potentially much more rewarding life ahead of me)

- Go to a specialized recording engineering institute
- graduate from a school that in the past 3 years has produced sound engineers who have recorded CD's with U2, Paul McCartney, Avril Lavigne, Green Day, and RADIOHEAD. In the past 5 years they have produced talents which have helped create films such as The Aviator, Madagascar, and The Dukes of Hazzard. In the past 5 years they have produced workers who are now employed by Much Music, CTV, CBC, and A&E. This place has also made engineers who have worked with creating recent video games Need For Speed Underground, 007 Everything or Nothing, NBA Street, and Harry Potter.
- live 11 straight months of 30 hour school weeks living in an apartment for alot of money while also paying for all food, utilities, no TV for a while, no computer in a city which includes absolutely nobody that I know and there is no campus or anywhere to really meet new people like there is at college, so potentially a grueling and lonely year
- be able to seriously submit my resume to high profile places like Hollywood, San Francisco, New York, etc etc
- $26,000 paid tuition in less than one year with also considering all of life's other expenses while living on your own on top of a bank loan and it's interest


I'm not asking you guys to make the decision for me. All I'm asking is to see what you would do so I might gain some insight..thanks!
