Financial talk

I graduated high school back in 2006. I have yet to go to college because I simply cannot afford it or get near enough in loans or financial aid. Recently my kid brother graduated high school and has decided he wants to attend the same college I was initially going to before I knew I couldn't get enough money, and what's more he wants to major in the same thing I do - theatre/acting. It's a small school/campus in state. We have an orientation scheduled for tomorrow but I don't want to go. First, we don't get along and I don't want to be at the same small school, especially with him majoring in the same thing I would. Also, I'm not sure I want to go to college even if I could afford it. I just don't like the idea of four more years of classes and tests and everything. But I feel bad because everyone puts such emphasis on going to college - I feel like a failure for not wanting to go. Anybody have any advice about ANY of this at all? Thanks. I take acting very seriously in every way and I know my brother doesn't - he just wants to be rich and famous whereas I actually care about characterization, method, and creation. It's like a slap in the face. I don't think I need college to try and pursue acting, but I don't know. I think maybe part of me is afraid he'll be more successful than me.
