I smiled when I read your post.
You reminded me of someone, from a very long time ago.
You are in a hurry to get on with the the next stage of your life and that's a good healthy thing.
My advise..
Slow down and think..hard. You have an awful lot of life ahead of you. You don't want to screw it up.
Try working out a plan to see where you would like to see yourself in one year, five years, ten years. At your stage of the game in life it's tough enough to image three months into the future ( no insult here, just a fact of life).
The independence, glamour and excitement of an everyday 9-5 job, paying rent, bills, cooking for yourself, washing your clothes, cleaninig your place, and carefully budgeting your spending wears off really fast, and retirement is still a long way off. Trust me on this.
Some good advise above this post about staying in school. Learning a trade vastly inceases your chances for a good life ahead. I do realize though, that this is not the answer for everybody. You might consider saving up a bit and blowing it all on seeing some of the world before life's routines trap you. All or any of the above really do go a long way to helping you later in life in so many ways you can't possibly comprehend now.
Just a few thoughts sent your way. Good luck! I envy you.
