Yes, plumbers, electricians who are working within their own business as well as many other businesses that are capable of expansion & growth. Insurance producers can make bank as well.

 

Still, one must be EDUCATED to become proficient in their skill of choice.

There are many, many uneducated graduates. You're WAAAYYY OFF thinking no degree = uneducated. 

 

I'm very educated and I do not have a college degree. I'd go as far as to say I'm far more educated than most graduates.

I have K-12 education and 3 years of college and 25 years of professional coaching, trainings, private mentorship and many hundreds of webinars, podcasts and books under my belt. I've also been through the school of hard knocks as a 5 time over Entrepreneur.

 

I wouldn't trade my education for a college education under any circumstance. 😎👍

There are many good jobs for people without college degrees.  Many of them make more than doctors or lawyers.

Most of education gets its roots from the streets and everyday life! So uneducated may have more to do with semantics than reality.

I don't believe that someone who doesn't have a college degree is necessarily "undeducated." I've met many a college graduate who knew nothing and I've met people without college degrees who are very educated. Lots of people in what we refer to as the "trades" make a ton of money.

Doubtful. It’s also very affordable to create real estate as a business. Start a Restaurant or clothing store and see how much $$$ you must Place at Risk

It appears nothing screws up an education, healthcare of government like bunch of PHD's. These folks are infatuated with their investment in education, NOT making the world a better place.
Are their OTHER opportunities?
They are EVERYWHERE. These include but not limited to SM influencers, POD, drop shipping online marketers, digital marketers,  child exploition via YouTube and my favorite as described in the book 'Work Like An Immigrant" those who just didn't quit. Every olympian we have watched these past two weeks are examples of those who didn't quit and showed up for the party.
Opportunity is EVERYWHERE.

Only one other activity comes to mind i.e. drug dealing.....On a non-criminal point, one of the ongoing dynamics in the USA is the ability for anyone to take an idea and launch it. Whether it becomes a success or not remains to be seen...This concept never expires and amazes as it goes

I'm grateful to have made an incredible living with only 4 months of training and the rest learned on the fly.  I thought my life would have been that or a working class hero scratching out a living hoping to max out at $60,000 per year.  I'm blessed.
