How can someone survive without a college degree these days?

Di asked:


I’ve been jumping around from major to major, college to college, and cant find anything thats satisfies me.
I’ve been in school for nearly 3 years now, and I’m taking a break this next semester.

The problem is, I hate school and really dont want to go back. But I’m no fool. I know people need a full degree to get even the simplest jobs these days.

I need some form of assurance that people without a college degree can make something of themselves. That they can be successful and/or financially comfortable without a degree.

What can people do nowadays, in order to survive, as someone who did not complete college? What direction could they go in? What fields could/should they pursue? What can people do for themselves to be successful without going to school?

I just want some perspective here.
