Under 30 and didn't go directly to college or go at all after high school?

This is a question that was generated by another fluther discussion. I’m curious about the employment paths of young adults who didn’t go right from high school to a 4 year university setting. What sort of guidance or direction did you get from your high school, parents, etc. What types of jobs did you get right out of high school? Are you doing the same thing now? Are you happy with your current employment situation?
