Police officer or fire fighter. I have 2 brothers that went to college, then into these fields. They both retired with a great pension in their early 50s. They didn't need their college educations to work in their fields. One gets a great pension and COLA raises 3-4%/year. The other one is working FT in a different field while collecting his pension.

I think cival service jobs where you earn a pension are a great job for someone that doesn't go to college. That includes janitor, secretary, etc. Not everyone is college material.

There is also acting, singing, or modeling, but that isn't always an option.
