Okay so im in a massive pickle.
Stay with producing music, sign to a publisher and work my ass off until i either make it big or end up selling all my studio equipment to i dont starve
or
Put music off for 2-5 years in order to get my degree in Audio Production (2 years) and then possibly my masters degree (3 or 4 years i forget) but do to that i would also have to move to London - BIG decision.
I would just like everyone's opinion on ways to help me sort out what i should do. It would help me out heaps.

What do you want to do most? That is all that really matters. If you choose what you think is right instead of what is right for you then you won't be successful since you don't really want to do it anyway.
However if you want my opinion, i would DEFINITELY go for the educational option, it's so much better in every way. 'Making it big', if it's something your going to rely on, is a big gamble. Only very few people actually make it. In any case there is nothing stopping you from doing both, if you really want to.

i didnt necessarily mean make it big...
i jsut meant being able to make a living from music... which obviously involves not jsut doing hardcore...
I jsut question whether a degree will help my production skills.... But at the same time i spose its something to fall back on?

I doubt a degree would help your career as a artist that much, to be honest, but if you were going to work for a degree you should be looking for more realistic jobs in the music industry that you can actually make a living from. How many artists can live from making music? Very very very little!

never depend on one single hope/destination
worlds full of surprises and let downs with no promises, so the logical thing to do is secure your self the ability of getting a steady job
just my opinion, but really do what you want and feel and work your ass off with what ever you want to do
