Most small business owners are blue collar workers like Plumbers, Electricians, HVAC, Carpenters and Mechanics; etc. I would say 95% of these business owners do not have a degree. In fact from what I've seen, most are high school dropouts. In America, most people with degrees end up working for large companies and do not have to take on any risk with starting a business. Those folks with no education usually take on risk without a second thought and if you've leaned any trade skills, as mentioned above, it can make you a lot of money. Most mechanics learn their skill from family members or working at other small local garages. You can have an 8th grade education and be a mechanic and make 300K a year if you own the business. Plus, there is no license required! Just have a bunch of friends and family members that will come to your shop for repairs. You can also expand the company to include towing, car sales etc. If you ask me and if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, that's where you can become more financially stable than your typical college educated person. So in my opinion, save your money and learn a trade.
