I think that you should consult mommy and daddy before making any more decisions

Like someone else mentioned, if you're not entirely against it I would consider joining the military. The different branches have their different pros and cons, so do a lot of research and talk with people who are actually enlisted before making a decision. Don't take your recruiter's word for absolute truth. They will stretch the truth and even in some cases lie to you.
If that's not an option for you, find what it is that you want to do and create an action plan. You can get just about any job in America without a degree. At the end of the day, most places don't care whether or not if you have a degree. They only care that you can do the job better than any other applicant that they receive. With that being said, find a job that is related to your field that will provide you with room to grow. It will probably be hard to find a job that you'll get any attention from without a degree, so start locally so that you can use the social aspect of interaction to your advantage. This might mean taking an unpaid internship. This might also mean taking a job that won't allow for growth so that you can get some experience within the field. Be resourceful and use your connections as a means to open doors.
The most important thing is to have a goal. The next most important thing is to have a plan. Finally, the last piece of the puzzle is improvement/moving forward. If you have a goal, a plan to achieve it, and can make noticeable strides towards the end goal, you are well on your way.
Don't allow people to tell you that you can't do something. If you have the talent and ability, then with honing your craft and making the right connections, you will be able to do whatever it is that you'd like.
I hope this helps, and good luck towards the future.
Military is not my thing, never has never will. No disrespect to those out there that do, do it. It is just not for me.
As far as the 2nd part go you need wild connections to get those desirable salaries with no degree though right?
Did you set small goals or large goals for your self?

If you didn't work hard then, what makes you think you're going to work hard now?
I didn't work hard enough. I didn't have my parents push me or get involved with my social/school life like some of my friends to did. I always got average grades in the AP/honors whatever classes with all of them getting As all across. Being in a situation you like and are comfortable with makes it easier to give it your all. If you work a ++%! job that you don't like it's gonna be tough no? A change of scenery is something i needed and i think i still need that. well that's just me, though.

I was in the same position as you..wanted to go to a university with all my friends outta high school but just didn't have the grades. Ended up going to community college and getting a transfer degree and now I'm at the university of washington.
How long did it take you guys to finish up CC? I never allowed it to be an option before because i wanted that change of scenery, away from home, not where i'm gonna continue to get all these luxuries that will allow me to be too laid back

Yes, except the panamera part.
They're the ones that told me to pick whatever school I wanted, they would cosign my loans.
Mid august 2011, they say no.
