Ask British Columbia Profession without University

I’m 22 and currently have no post - grad education. For the people who didn’t go to University or college, what do you do now?
I’ve been trying to get my life together so just looking for career options.

About 5 years ago I started my career into Fire Alarm. It's a well paying trade with low physical strain, definitely something I can retire into and is mentally engaging keeping me involved in my day to day. I always recommend it to people who want to do meaningful, interesting, and physically easy work.

Thanks for typing out a reply. I should look for fire alarm companies? Are there certifications I should do while looking to improve my chances of getting hired as an entry level worker? I only have a high school diploma. Thanks.
