SHOW BIZ INSTEAD OF COLLEGE

SHARE SHOW BIZ INSTEAD OF COLLEGE

Debbie Gibson, the 21-year-old pop star who's also achieved her dream of starring on Broadway, says show biz is the only education she needs.

Gibson doesn't plan to go to college because "if you give yourself something to fall back on, you are going to fall back," she said. "For me, this is it, this is what I want to do with my life."She will appear this weekend at the Sands Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City during a break from the New York musical "Les Miserables," in which she plays the doomed Eponine.

Gibson's hits include "Electric Youth" and "Lost in Your Eyes."
