If it doesn't require a college/university education to make it in life,...

...then what else is there that it takes to make it in life?
In here, name some nice money-making alternative careers not requiring college/university education to go into. Only one I can think of is over the road truck driving. But what else?

Yep that's what I do and make double the median household income for my area. Takes a bit of luck to land one though but if you do you're set.

You don't need a lot of money to 'make it' in life.
A lot of friends would be more helpful, and healthy.

You just have to work at something and have a focus or direction. I mean that's all a degree is really, a focus in a certain direction. The main thing whatever you do, you gotta save your money and not waste it on useful crap. Save it up and buy smart things. Get some property, investments, and work on climbing up the ranks of w/e path it is you choose.
There's immigrants who come from poor countries to the western world and work two shitty dead end jobs for 30 years and end up dying in million dollar mansions just because of their work ethic and saving the money they get.

It takes an idea, and execution. You don't have to go to school to learn how to run a business. You can learn from experience. There should be heavy emphasis on risk taking.

Networking. Be professional. Don't flake out. Don't burn bridges. And show an unrelenting work ethic and willingness to contribute your best efforts. I've learned this the hard way over the years. Good luck young fella.

I do pretty well for myself. I am in commercial low voltage electrical work. I work on fire alarm systems and access control systems in many of the high rise buildings in Atlanta.
I didn't go to college for this. I just got hired not knowing anything really. I showed up everyday on time, without fail. I worked hard. I put forward a lot of effort, more than most that work for the company. I have worked for this company for 4 years now. I make pretty good money and I have earned others respect.
On the other hand, I am returning to college in the fall semester. I have not been to school in nearly 7 years. I am going to continue to work my electrical job to pay bills. I have a lot of extra time on my hands when I get home from work, where I could be learning something. I am going back for nursing or something in the medical field.
My wife already makes great money. I make ok money at the moment. If I could graduate college and get a higher paying job in the medical field instead of doing electrical, my wife and I could be living comfortably with her and my new salary combined. That's the plan anyways.

NO. It does not require A college degree to make it. It definitely helps you live a more comfortable life. With a degree you have the potential to make more than if you do not. Its not a guarantee. You can graduate from med school and still be confined to working at mellow mushroom. It happens. Just depends on what's in the cards for you.

The only thing that you need to do to make it in live is identify a problem someone has, solve it, than charge for it. The more people with the problem the better

It's tough working and studying at the same time though dude. You're right about the excess time thing but it starts to get pretty stressful and if you're like me you'll start to miss all of that down time and relaxation just to stay sane and have a healthy work/life balance. Plus studying part time takes an eternity to graduate also

My sister's friend makes a quarter million a year working as executive chef at this fancy restaurant in LA. Only problem is you probably have to start out for many years as a prep cook, then a line cook (which are both really low pay) for years before moving on up to sous chef, and then executive chef.
He also says work hours are crazy, he works around 80 hours a week, so he makes all this money and has nowhere to spend it.
