Noo dude you misread, Money has never been a reason I grew! I never grew commercially in the UK, because it was too risky and not something I was comfortable with.
I grew to try out as many different strains as I could, and different techniques to see what worked the best for me, and until now I have always been limited to few 4x4 ft tent's.
I can see why people grow cash crops though.
The thing to keep in mind about a design degree is, It's highly competitive, 1000's of people do them, and there aren't thousands of jobs available. So in my opinion you either need to be a) Highly talented, or b) work your balls off to get the best result possible, if you want to find employment in that sector when your degree is finished. It partly comes down to luck, and if you are prepared to move cities, or countries for work?
London and manchester are the two places you'll find the most work in the UK
If you're not really sure what you want to do in life (and at 18/19, I was the same) but you like the idea of uni, then by all means go, but be prepared to do I as did and potentially work low paid jobs.
The thing is I stayed in my city (too long) after uni because I liked the city, and had a good bunch of friends close by, but it put me in a funny situation, not qualified enough for some jobs, too qualified for others, a bit of an employment limbo.
It may have been down to the economy too, but to have a degree, and be working minimum wage jobs.. kind of defeats the point of higher education.
I did leave school at 18, but applied to Uni, and defferred for a year. I had a gap year where I worked, I got a decent job at a company, but it wasn't for me. The job, or to be living in my home town for the foreseeable future if I had continued with that career.
If I were you, my suggestion would be to have a year out, work and save, go travelling and try to gain some perspective on things.
Please appreciate though this is just my experience and my 2p, I'm not a qualified careers advisor, but figure out what you really love doing, what you're really good at, and 5-10 years down the line where you would like to be in life.
