Not sure what I should think of this. I’m not ready for college yet, but I would like to go in a few years.

You are ready. If...you're willing to give the following a shot. Investigate CLEP and DANTES tests. And the 'assessment colleges', i.e., Excelsior, Charter Oak State College and Thomas Edison State College.

Here's something to consider about those tests: You can use them for credit (at schools accepting them) or not use them, at your discretion. Equivalent courses taken at an RA college must be reported to any subsequent RA school at time of matriculation.

I'm a broken record on this stuff but a non-traditional approach to an RA degree is worth considering.
