It really depends on your state and local requirements for licenses which can be found at https://www.belfrysoftware.com/blog/security-guard-license-requirements-by-state. You're correct that in many states the min age is 18 for unarmed and 21 for armed guard licenses and most require High School or GED.

Keep in mind that employers may require more than just the minimum. So you should search local job sites to see what companies actually require in your area.

You may not like this response but regardless of what you choose to do the first choice should be to get your high school diploma! Your options for any career or a method to support yourself will forever be greatly impacted by the lack of a diploma.

Don't underestimate your abilities and settle for less. It is the most important thing you could do for yourself and your future now!

You were smart enough to look up the requirements you can definitely take the next step and finish! As you noted, most places will require that diploma or GED.

A diploma makes other future endeavors attainable.
