I need future advice

So I’m currently in a college course which I hate, it has nothing to do with my future career at all. I’ve spoken to my advisor and they’ve told me to take a gap year and then go to university (college for us), I think I’ll be happier taking a gap year and working for all of it and then going to university however I feel like it’s the wrong this to do and I should be in education, but the course I’m in makes me so so unhappy, do I drop out and work in a healthcare environment for a year or carry on with the course??
