Question for those who didn't go to college.

I graduated high school in 08 and decided not to go to college right away. I honestly think at this point it just isn't where I should be. I don't want to throw away money and time when I know I probably won't do the best I can. I'm not saying it's out of the question forever but I'll probably slowly make my way up the health care ladder instead of getting a 4 year degree right away.

In a month I'm going to take a certificate program so that I can make more than I'm currently making and live independently but I still feel out of the loop with all my friends who are in college. I feel like they look down on me and it makes me distance myself from all the friends I've had for years upon years. I can't help but to feel dumb and lazy around everyone and it impedes my socializing tremendously. I've pushed most of them away by now because I hate feeling inferior.

Did any other Redditors who didn't go to college have this problem? How did you deal with it?
