Replying to School and skiing

With school starting again (sadly) in a few weeks (yay closer to ski season) I was curious on what people’s opinions were on being an athlete-maintaining a ski carrer while also wanting to attend university. Can it be done without killing a dream? I know there’s people out there who will say quit school- continue skiing and vis versa but I’m genuinely wanting to know peoples thoughts on trying to do both. The question of following your passion but also wanting to provide yourself with options in the future.
