How Do Y’all Do It? (advice?)

I’m 16, turning 17 soon. And I’m terrified about my future. My mom keeps pushing for me to go to college and she also wants me to start working with her this summer. I’m just scared. I don’t want to go to college. I struggle with depression, anxiety, and ADHD and am struggling with high school enough. I doubt that if I go I’ll even be able to pass. It doesn’t seem worth it. But should I consider it more? Or would going straight into work be a better idea? If I do go right to work, will I be able to live off of shitty minimum wage? How do you all make a living? Especially in America, as that’s where I live.
