When i was in grade 12, I taught myself PHP/HTML/SQL and some JavaScript. I set up a forum (Which was a modified Simple Machines Forum) to stuff around in at school because i always managed to finish projects and tasks in computer studies early.
A few months before I finished year 12 I was having real trouble actually learning any more in the field of web development, because I had nothing to code. I walked into a web design place with a resume and some code samples of what i already did and they said they may have something for me to do, and a few days later i was given a job submitting links to websites to up the page rank of a site.
When I left school, I was asked if I wanted to say there full time and do some web development. I agreed.
That was about 4 years ago now. I'm 21, and I'm still in the same job. Id say i was quite under qualified for my current position, but I'm really glad I was given a chance.
