I would highly recommend joining the U.S. Navy as an Information Systems Technician (IT) as you will get awesome training and the potential to earn:
Basic Pay $1,748.10 a month (over 2 yrs service)
Subsistence Pay $272.26 a month
Area Incentive Pay (AIP) of up to $3,000 a month (depends on area)
Re-Enlistment Bonus (SRB) of up to $40,000
Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA) of aprox. $1,100.00
Etc... Etc...
It is highly likely that you could be earning over $48,000 a year in just a little over 2 years of service with the prospects of high paying civilian jobs as soon as your enlistment is up. I truly think this opportunity is hard to find in the civilian sector right now with only a High School Diploma!
Also, potential for $52,000 of money for college as follows:
"The Montgomery G.I. Bill (MGIB): Take a small $100 reduction in your Navy pay for just 12 months and you will get back an education benefit of over $37,000. You may use this money toward college once you’ve completed active duty or even use part of it while you're still serving. Combine it with a Navy College Fund "Kicker" and get over $70,000 toward your education! You will be entitled to receive up to 36 months of educational benefits as a full-time student under this program. See your Navy Recruiter for details.
The Navy College Fund: Available to those who sign up for the MGIB. If you’re a high school graduate, score a 50 or better on the ASVAB, and qualify for certain Navy jobs or apprenticeships, you can get more than $15,000 in addition to the MGIB money for your education."
"Among the most important benefits are those for your health. As a Sailor, you receive:
Full medical coverage and care in Navy or civilian facilities
Full dental coverage and care from Navy professionals
Your other benefits upon joining the Navy include:
Discounted travel
30 days paid vacation each year
Generous educational benefits
$250,000 life insurance policy for $16 a month or a $400,000 life insurance policy for $26 a month"

Depends on what job your friend wants. Your friend could start working in an unskilled job like a factory or a food outlet etc but if they wish to progress many comapnies now look at employee training and vocational qualifications. Honestly the local job centre can help with employment and can also discuss how this person could apply for secondary or vocational qualifications to get up the ladder. 21 is still very young, your friend still has every opportunity in the world if he/she wants to put in a bit of hard work over the next 5 years or so. Good luck

You need to go at least to a technical school and get a Bs in IT to be able to get any kind of a job.
