Sure it's possible. I'm 17 now and have been working a goverment job for a year now, full-time in the summer and part-time during the school year. My coworker, who's 19, was hired at this job when he was 15. We do maintenance and stuff on the ministry's inter- and intranets.
Just because you did not have a programming job in high school, does not mean other people cannot.
I live in Canada. Most of our small news networks, at least in Ontario (the new VR, OnTV...) are entertainment driven and so heavily influenced by opinions that they're a joke to watch.
But we have the CBC, a commercial tv station, and programs like The National are true good quality reporting. Not to mention CBC radio.
And what about the BBC? What about other foreign news stations?
America is not the total end of the world... just becuase it lacks a singular national news network doesn't mean other countries do, and just because most of the reporting isn't reporting at all but sensationalism doesn't mean other countries follow it's model. It's a wide wide world...
Just because, on a whim, you typed in an indie band and got nothing back doesn't mean noone out there has them... I spent about 3 months of constant searching, but I managed to build a hefty collection (about 74) of bootlegs from a sort-of well known Canadian band. It just takes time.
