If you are straight out of high-school, close to impossible to get a teaching job. You first need to learn the ropes, do some training / TEFL course and then start applying.

Some countries have relaxed the rules where a Diploma + TEFL certificate will be adequate to get your work visa.

I suggest going to university now... and worry about working later. Always harder to head back to Uni as a mature age student.
Even without a degree, I believe that if you have a TEFL and at least three years experience (Not to mention a sponsor company), you may be able to get a Specialty In Humanities visa. I may be wrong though.
