What jobs are available to people without high school diplomas? What kind of pay scale? (To motivate seniors)

Some students are not going to graduate and have developed apathy toward the entire process. I want to inform them of the grave consequences of their choices. I also would like to know for those who need the direction if graduation is not attainable in the near future.
