People told me the same things when I dropped out of college at 17... Life's what you make it.

As long as this isn't one of those "I like ponies so I'm going to spend 2 years doing equestrian studies" sort of things.
You need to ask yourself if this is something you can realistically see yourself getting a professional job in later in life.
I know that sounds blunt but like Parthiban said, photography can be learnt at any age. And a LOT of really good photographers were self taught, or just learnt as they went along by trial and error. Whereas a good set of qualifications in an academic subject will be more CV worthy, a photography course is only going to be relevant to a very specific range of potential employers...
But if it's what you wanna do, go for it. lol

They have quite a high success rate of their students going on to higher education (uni) and the college itself is linked with the university of Greenwich so if I did want to go to uni of Greenwich to study something, I'd only have to commute to there every day.
Anyway. Its my choice and I'm allowed to do what I want, so, yeah.

Good luck with it Oli I hope you enjoy what you decide but I have to in a whisper agree with comments above about career options and the such.

As everyone else as said its your choice and follow what you feel is right on the flip side though they are right about the education thing I dropped out of college and into full time work at 17.
Since then had a few jobs doing what I love and my hands in experience in my field of work is worth far more than a academic one.
