Don’t know what to do with my education (vent)

I got my Diploma (21 F) and I’m torn about college. The reason why I got my Diploma so late was that I was working instead of studying. Not because I HAD to work but because I wanted to focus more on my creative career and feel what it’s like to be independent.

I’ve got a career now, it’s not perfect but I think it’s ok for a 21 year old. I also moved out of parents and can afford my own expenses.

I feel like if I go to college I would be wasting the time I would be putting into my job. But at the same time I feel a little insecure for just having a diploma because everyone around me is either in college or out of it and I feel judged when I say that I’m not in college.

I don’t like studying, but a part of me feels that I should just do it for the degree. And I can’t buy a degree since it’s illegal.

Has anyone been in my shoes? What should I do? What are some things to consider?
