I'm also a 17 year old. I always say just have fun. So really, just do whatever you want and whatever makes you happy. Unless money is a big concern for you, you shouldn't go work in paying job. It's much less stressful when you are just messing around, instead of meeting someone else's deadline. Also some of the comments here suggest socializing. Personally I'm not a very social person, when I get home from school I really just want to be left alone. I just want to say that if socializing is your thing, then go for it, but if it's not, don't feel that you are being pressured into it.
