Just a public service announcement -
Carradice have done a run of Barley Super C saddlebags, so if you fancy one, best give them a call. They still had some available this afternoon when I ordered mine but I don't know how many they have or how long they'll hang around for.
If you don't know what they are and can't work it out from the name, they're a Barley sized Super C, or a Super C styled Barley, depending on which way you want to look at it :)
They're £50.

tl;dr: Stick with College.
Some points for you to consider:
You do a lot less hours in college than you do in a job (generally speaking) so you will have more free time to cycle than if you ditch college for a full time job.
If it's a 2 year or longer course and you hate it, consider swapping to something you don't hate. If you're just bored, stick with it. If it's a year long course then HTFU, you're already 33% of the way there!
It's a good solid trade to be in, and as many have already said, it gives you the opportunity to earn decent money in the future. As someone else has also pointed out, you could well end up self employed which might give you the flexibility to do more cycling than you would get in a permanent job.
Please bear in mind that having a qualification, any qualification at all, will help you to get your first job. When I see a CV from someone who hasn't had a related job before applying for the one I'm filling, I look to see if they have committed to anything beforehand. The very fact that you finished college might be the difference between getting an interview and being binned.
Perhaps consider a change of part time job? Do you have a LBS near you that you could try to get a job at? Your income might go down in comparison to the mushroom farm but you'll be surrounded by bikes when you're at work and it's possible you'll get a discount!
Don't expect to know what you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 17. I'm 38 and still don't have a scooby what I want to do when I grow up. At this point, I doubt I ever will grow up! :)
Good luck with your decision.
If you want to try a custom ROM then don't worry too much about resetting it back to default afterwards. You can download the carrier branded firmware your phone came with from a thread on XDA-Developers here:

There is a counter on the phone which will show up that you've flashed a ROM on there but it's very unlikely that o2 will notice it. If you're worried then you can reset the counter using a USB Jig:
