I am not exactly sure but we have some relatives who never went to college who have had worked themselves up in the Corporate World. I have an aunt who had a very good position at a bank and later went to work for a library. No college degree - she makes really good money.
Bookkeeper also comes to mind - the pay is insane these days. If you have the experience behind you the degree doesn't matter.
I just had to add I always say that (in case my kids don't go to college) because my mom resented being expected to go to college. She will never use her degree and did not enjoy the experience at all. On the flip side my dad was first generation college. So I understand how profound a college degree can be, and yet I don't expect my kids to live their life the way we have planned out for them. It's their life; their choice. I will respect if they do no go to college; whatever the reason.
