My spouse was successful as a self-employed, highly skilled electrician who was able to keep needed union benefits when he left employment with a contractor. Going self-employed and working hard enabled his retirement at age 55. He took a few college classes for self-enrichment along the way but his fulfillment was enjoying doing electrical work, ranging from installing giant printing presses to ceiling fans for homeowners. Doesn't feel cheated or inferior by not having a college degree in the least.
