Have you graduated high school? If not start working on doing so in night school or at Douglas College.

Also there's a few career assessment programs (I know Douglas hosts some, some other must too) that will help you assess your current skill set and then examines your aptitudes and helps you narrow down what careers are desirable and realistically obtainable.

If you have graduated high school and do have an idea of what field you'd like to be in, BCIT, Douglas, Langara, VCC and Kwantlin all have a lot of certification programs that are designed for people who are already working full time. It means giving up some of your free time and some of your free money but you can get started on doing something else.

And like ecchie says, you can also always apply. I've gone into a lot of jobs knowing only peripherally related skills before and ended up both learning a lot and doing pretty well.
