Question: Not sure what to do...?

I'm 18 years old,

I'm 1 year behind in High school (Not because of failed grades but due to absence from a trip to brazil)

I'm ambitious, but I find myself very lazy at times.

I currently volunteer at a high end gym, work part-time (and earn more than $13 an hour + bonuses)

At every passing day my urge to start projects for organizations, or business grows stronger, while my attention in school diminishes.

I had plan's to attend a respectable university for a Bachelors of Commerce degree, but my slipping grades caused by my inability to pay attention in class is causing me to think outside of the box in regards on what to do with my life.

I've learned multiple ways to create investment vehicles that can give better than average passive income, I have interest to learn much about business hands on, but in my accounting class my attention span to create fake business portfolios (bob's tires Balance sheet) takes a toll on my desire to be focused.

I feel I'm a much more hand's on type of guy who desires to learn from failure, and grow to become successful in my future investments and business opportunities.

However, at every corner I am pressured to "take it safe" and go to a university and get a degree to get a "safe" job so I can be "secure". Everyone in my family has never graduated from higher education and my mother migrated to North America alone with me (a baby) for a better future. So I feel not taking that higher education is something my family would take negatively.

After high school should I just work and strive hands on? or continue with secondary education and tackle having a lot of debt?

Im looking for the perspective of someone who has graduated from a Business School or attained a secondary education in the field of business, my questions to you are

What steps did you take after your secondary education?
What are your next steps today?

What is your career, salary, and debt levels
What do you see for yourself in the next 10 years?
______________________________________…

For those who haven't taken secondary education, but had the idea to be involved in business.

What was your steps after high school?
What is your current position (financially)
What do you plan for yourself?

For both of you (that match the description) above.

Let me know about yourself, doesn't have to be personal. But ... why did you choose what you did?

Thanks for your time guys.
