Moral Dilemmas of an Undergraduate

My older brother raised me after my parents passed away, so he's a lot like a father to me. He invited me to dinner. We had a great time. But on the car ride home he said he wanted me to go to college again. The only problem with that is I hate school. I never liked it, even as a young child I never wanted to go. I always thought up excuses as to why I couldn't go. At the same time though, I want my father figure to be proud of me, which, while I was going to school, he told me every day how proud he was, which made me really happy. But I felt like I was there more for him than I was for me. What should I do? Should I go to college at the expense of my own happiness? Or do I let my older brother down? I don't know what I should do. Do you have any advice for me?
