If you don't know what you most enjoy after H.S., finding your motivation is a really great idea for many kids. if you give it a quarter and still aren't inspired, outside work could help with that. College is expensive; but it's worth it and -much- easier once you know why you're there! You're story is a perfect example, thanks for sharing.
I'd add this (from my experience): if you start out doing well, but your grades start slipping in the second year? Take a quarter (or a year) off to figure out why that's happening. Maybe that major isn't for you after all. Maybe things in your personal life need getting past so that you can can get your focus back. The college will still be there when you're ready ... unless what you need is ... another college !!
Yep. No point worrying about redoing life. It happened, everything is ok.
