Advice needed: go to Uni/online courses/volunteering my time

I'm 23 now without any formal education since high school. I've been thinking about getting a degree in zoology/marine biology or conservation. Essentially anything to do with wildlife.

The problem is I hate being stuck in a room. I achieved good grades in school but I despised every minute of it. At the moment I'm in the middle of my travel the world phase of life and was wondering if its possible to do any university recognised courses online that may lead to a degree. I really dont think i can do the classroom thing again just yet and I'm making way more money from working while I travel than I would as a barman back in the uk. So financially returning home doesnt make much sense.

I have been looking into volunteering expeditions for insights into conservation and I would be happy to pay for these if anybody knows of any organisations that provide a real education. Please help.
