Your mom was not doing you any kind of favor by quitting your job for you. That's really rather unhealthy. Life is full of uncomfortable situations, confrontations, etc., and she should have made you learn how to handle that one on your own.
Anyway, personally I've never been voluntarily unemployed. I've always enjoyed work far more than school, for the simple reason that at work I actually accomplish meaningful things, I have responsibilities, and get paid for my efforts.
Compare that to college where I'd just write the same meaningless BS paper that everyone else in my class was doing, whether or not I showed up had absolutely no affect on the school, and I had to pay to have my time wasted when I could be doing something productive instead.
I got my first job when I was 13. My parents reluctantly let me do it, but on the condition that if my grades fell, the job had to go. My grades actually went up, because dammit I didn't want to have to quit that job!
