On my 18th birthday, I had a college scholarship, a job in an auto repair shop, a pilot's license, and I owned a new pickup and a new motorcycle. I had a girlfriend who looked like Joan Jett if she had grown up listening to Green Day instead of AC/DC. And I didn't look like the tendon sticking out of a chicken tender crossed with a 14th term senator. I was pretty successful for an 18 year old.
All totally paid for by said job.
They could've gotten it from trade school for free, some high schools offer it for no price. I'm 19 years old and I'm making $30/hour working in IT. I didn't go to tech school for computer networking though, I originally went for auto motive. I got my CompTIA A+ certification, and I also have my own electronics store on eBay where I sell Libreboot computers and other hardware (routers, switches, etc.).
