Once you graduate, high school is over. You can't redo those classes. I would go to a community college and take the basic gen ed courses with a plan to transfer to a 4 year school. I'd try to get an AA or AS out of it at least. Or an AAS if there was a field I was interested in, but I'd still get those gen eds because you'll need them later.
College is nothing like high school. I didn't care at all about high school. I was not someone who was prepared for the difference in high school and college. I grew up in a really small town where I knew every single person I graduated with since 2nd grade or earlier. We all literally grew up together so losing everyone was hard. Go off to a big city (even though it wasn't a huge city) it was still a HUGE culture shock and I didn't know a single person.
College courses move much faster so if you aren't thrilled with a topic, you're done with it in a week or less. In high school, you may spend several weeks on that topic.
If the person doesn't know what they want to do, the working on IT may not be a wise idea. If they are interested in it, then maybe take a Coursera or Udemy class. I'd only get a Udemy class if it was on sale though. I definitely wouldn't pay for Udacity. Save that kind of money for courses that give college credit.
There's a big world out there. For some folks, it takes longer to find themselves. There's nothing wrong with that!
