Decisions on business or a college degree

[Ethan Tomlinson]

Hello! I’m soon to be 19 years old, I worked a lot growing up and have about 11k saved up now, but I’m in a dilemma of fortune and wanted peoples opinions. My parents have grown a pretty decent amount of wealth over the years, and my father is willing to pay for my college career (tuition costs at least up to a bachelors degree). However, he also says that if I don’t want to get a degree, and instead have a great idea for business or other use of the tuition money, he might be willing to let me use it on that project/idea instead. I want to get into real estate by owning and renting out properties, including house hacking myself while I do it. What would you do if given the option? 

Thanks for any replies! :)
