I volunteered in my junior high school, and met people. Those people pointed me towards other organizations, who needed volunteers. Through this path, I eventually met enough "important" people that I could build a decent resume. Then, I got a job that actually paid. I spent several years losing money by working.;-)
I've now been doing this stuff for enough years that my resume looks impressive enough for HR types to give it the second read.
Keep thinking that way, and you'll soon be a member of an HR department somewhere.
I am a 27 year old senior *nix administrator, who has no college degree. I don't remember saying "Would you like fries with that" in the course of my daily activites. =)
There are many other paths to education, other than that provided by the traditional primary -> secondary -> university model. Many of us do not need, or want, to be educated by others when we can do it better ourselves.
Try not to let yourself fall into the trap of assuming that anyone who doesn't fit into a certain societal definition of success is a failure.

Actually, the G3 is a 603-based CPU and the G4 is a 604-based CPU.
It was rumored a while back that Apple might use IBM G3+Altivec chips in PowerBooks, further confusing the issue.
Most of my success is due to volunteering. =)
