Mate my brother is in the EXACT same situation (his turning 21), but he left school in yr10 I think, and did a bricklaying apprentenceship. But his boss went bust and didn't find him another compnay to work with (which I thought was illegal but anyway).
Now he has just done a pre-apprentencship course in spray painting and panel beating with RACV. He is most definately NOT an academic, although if he wanted to I am sure he could, and now he is top of his class and has TWO places wanting him to work with them.
So it can work out.
It all depends on what you want, trades are hard work, but can ring in good $$$. Same with going back to school and uni, its not pretty, but its what you get at the end that counts.
Thats what I keep on telling myself anyway.
Good luck mate, and dont be afraid, just be positive and give whatever you do 100% because its easy to become complacient.
