these have a lot of info on jobs without a college degree. you can also read 100 Great Careers That Don't Require a College Degree by Leonard Corwen at the library. Yes, I agree that college isn't for everyone. I mean, look at the basketball players. I know a bunch that didn't go to college and now they're making millions. I heard of a doctor who can't retire until he's 72 because that's when he'll be able to pay off his college loans. if you make manager of mcdonald's, you can make 60-70,000 a year. you won't have to worry about college loans.
i hope this helps!!
good luck and have fun!!

Truck driver--some schooling required but it doesn't take long
Certain types of construction--my brother is a plasterer and just has his GED, but he had to work his way up to that--he started as a "hod carrier"--basically hauling around very heavy loads of plaster, sheetrock, etc. for the plasterers
Fast food restaurant manager--would need to work your way up
Factory work--some factories pay pretty well and have good benefits (however, this can be very monotonous, sometimes loud, heavy lifting, etc.)
Cheese plants--around my area, anyway, cheese plants pay pretty well and have good benefits--but this kind of work is not for everyone
Some companies MAY still let people work their way up. (One of my other brothers did this and now has a good position in the company.) However, a person needs to show some exceptional skills, ambition, intelligence, etc.

Ever thought of a Technical College depending on where you live...many time you can take classes to learn skills...electronics, computers, etc.

Electrician, plumber, carpenter, automotive technician.
What are your interests? What do you like about school? What do you do in your spare time?
What about a community college for 2 years - nursing, landscaping, veterinary technician.
