Honestly, don't stress over getting a job right away. Take your time and figure out the things in life that make you really happy. Our society is way too work obsessed and it's not healthy. Biologically you're actually still a kid until 20, anyway. You're now just a kid who can take care of themselves, basically. There's other productive things you can do instead of going to work right away. College and volunteering are good ways to find self-discovery and learn new skills. Whatever you do, just don't get into the "I have to work until my last breath" craze. That's a straight road into depression. You don't owe society work in order to deserve existing. We are human-beings, not human-doings.
So I'm now 18 years old
