My current dilemma is whether or not I should stay and finish year 12
Yes.
Finish high school.
Whether you should go to college/uni or not is a topic of much debate (and there are tons of threads on the subject) and you'll have to make that decision on your own but there's really no good reason for a 17 year old in their final year not to finish high school.
In many places there's even truancy laws that may be at play (I don't know them, I just know "of" them).
I could debate all day about what I think about formal education (which isn't too favorable), and you could argue the sunk cost fallacy quite nicely, but walking away from the finish line (at anything) when you are one foot away is foolhardy in my mind. Especially at 17.
You have your entire life ahead of you. Spend the 6 months or whatever it is to finish high school and then start worrying about what the rest of your life will be like.
