All those skilled jobs require no college degree, and for service related work bill anywhere from 60 - 100$ an hour. I know people who charge over 100 an hour for networking who never went to college but work for a computer company. I know someone who drives rigs and makes more than some people with a college degree. I worked with bartenders who pulled down 200 - 300 a night, worked 3 - 4 nights a week and make more than a lot of people who graduted from college. This is just rambling off the top of my head with out even thinking. I am sure I could name a lot more examples of professions you can good money doing that don't require a college degree.
How many people get out of college and can't find work ?

It's not all about the money though, many people choose a rewarding career with average pay, over a shitty jobs that pay well... Sure you can make 200-300 a night serving drinks to a bunch of drunks, or unclog toilets the whole day, and make 6 figures a year, but come on, would you really want to do that? Those jobs may be great for the first 3 months, $$ is flowing in, you think you are big shot, but then you start getting the "I hate my job" feeling... I don't think the same thing happens quite as often with jobs requiring a college degree...
