I'm in the same position
Hi OP,
I'm 17, nearly 18 in a month. If I was in education I would be in second year of college, however I never attended college, I can't focus myself on subjects which bear no relevance to my life an never will.
I'm currently working full-time, I'm not crap wage, only made good by the fact I'm living at home and not payign rent. £15,000pa. However this is funding my PPL, I've got 2 logged hours under my belt, aim to do 4 hours a month, which is £620, I could push for 5, but I do have other bill, work expenses, travel, food and so on!
I don't know what to suggest, go with your insticts, but make sure you pput full effort into whatever you do!
