i think Casey Neistat put it best: if you have a passion for something and you know you can learn it without any higher education involved - use you post-school time to get working experience, to perfect your craft etc.;
if you dont really know what do you want to do you as a job may as well go to uni and choose something you feel might suit you better: you can find your passion in that field further down the road (exactly what happened to me and translator work) or decide this is not for you and quickly leave and start looking for something else;
i know this is a common practice in UK/US when you skip a year after graduating from school and only then enroll but i myself dont regret enrolling right after ive graduated so i cant really say anything in that regard;
oh and my advice - if you wanna enroll to move out of your city ABSOLUTELY GO FOR IT because it is one thing that i would probably redo if i had a chance; this might be a long shot but maybe get the best of both worlds and move to another city and find a job there?
