High school is evil. It is satanic. I hated it too. Still, I'd at least get a GED. Also, I myself did not finish college, but to "offset" that resume-wise, I got a couple of those COMPTIA certifications. If one doesn't do much on the education side, balancing it with a couple of certifications is always a good thing. At least that is what I have heard from other people, and is what I did myself. (I got the A+ and Network+ certificatons). As for programming I started with a "teach yourself java" book myself, but if I had to do it all over again I would have started with c/c++. Currently I have a job writing test scripts in silktest which has similarities to both java and c, so it all works out, lol. Good luck.
