jobs/trades

Look into the unions. Some might not like them, and I come from a family of union haters so I understand why. Lol but they have some great apprenticeship programs. I just started the construction wireman program, and am really enjoy it. I have a friend who is in the plumbing program, and it's about the same as well. There's good benefits, and raises after each semester you finish. Plus you start out at more than most jobs you can get at 19. You go to school as you work, but it's pretty easy. It's like most things though, it is what you make of it. Be a slacker, and the kind of stereotypical union worker, and you'll stay at the bottom spinning your wheels forever. Work hard and take care of business and it will quickly begin to pay off. Let me know if you need help I could give you some more details, and hopefully point you in the right direction.
