So I'm 18 fresh out of highschool and I am  in college right now for radio broadcasting, I did not have the marks to get into university (In canada university is more academic and theory and college is more hands on, blue collar stuff) I enjoy the program but my issue is 1. I'm not sure how much money and or positions I could attain in the field. and 2. I feel like I'm missing out on an experience by not moving away and going to university, also I don't know what I would take in university but many of my friends moved away for it and so far they are saying it is a blast. So I am kind of torn on if i should stick with the program or maybe take an extra year of highschool/nightschool? if anyone could offer me some helpful advice that'd be great thanks :)

While only you can truly weigh the pros and cons of each decision, hesitating and giving yourself some time to learn and explore your interests more is often a good idea. If you have the time, why rush?

Also -- if you're going to go into radio, it wouldn't hurt to get a more broad liberal arts education, or to get out and see the world a bit. You know: experience things, build character, develop your personality, and all that.

You shouldn't be trying to go to University just to party and mess around, which it sounds like you want to do.  Going there with no plan in mind isn't the best idea.  The only thing you'll be able to gurantee is a bunch of debt. I think you should stick to what you're doing now considering you at least have a clear goal in mind. Don't do what every one else is doing because that only gives you short term satisfaction.

don't know what to do? well that's life :P but being as you're in college, go for something that will make you lots of money and will send you to an in demand job right out of school, if it's in something you love then that's good, but I think very few people are able to achieve that, find something that appeals to your strengths and go with that, you can worry about indulging in life when you achieve financial security

Go to the University. If money is no object or you just don't mind getting in debt then go to the University. Even going there without knowing specifically what would you study it is worth going to it. Many people don't know what they wanna be in life after taking 1 or 2 years of classes. I say go for it.

I would choose to move away from the family and learn to take care of myself and really party.
