theres plenty.  
Carpentry, construction and more. Sure you can get a degree in that stuff but sometimes experience and skill is worth more than a slip of paper a trained monkey can get in some cases. I think a monkey is smarter than half the guys I went to college with.  
Even my father makes somewhat decent money with no college education. He makes more than me and my mother and we both went to college.
