    Wow, life is going to disappoint you.

    No one pays great wages for unskilled labor. It used to be the case you could get a generic entry-level office job out of high school, but they'll have their pick of general interest underemployed BAs to pick from. Plus, technology has made a lot of those jobs redundant - you don't need an army of paper pushers when most transactions and communications are handled by email.

    You could perhaps do something like a secretary or receptionist. You don't *need* education for that, although people with an office administration diploma will have a leg up.

    Basically, most people without identifiable special skills end up in retail/hospitality nowadays. The pay isn't great, even if you stick it out and move to management later.

    There are plenty of well-paid job, office jobs, medical jobs, law jobs, etc. out there. They require college degrees. With just a high school diploma, your options are limited.
