For the purposes of my above post, a technical school or apprenticeship in a trade counts as post-secondary education. I strongly considered going into a skilled trade and see it as a valid and fulfilling career. Not for everyone, but neither is theoretical physics and we wouldn't get very far without either field.
My overarching point was that you definitely need to do something. Whether that be a doctor, a lawyer or a plumber, it's bound to be better than flipping burgers and it's not something you're likely going to manage with only a high school education. The world just doesn't work that way anymore.
