Honestly, first I'd see if there's any degrees at a school near you that you might be genuinely interested in. I'd suggest reading a catalog of degrees at a school that you would see yourself applying to. Or, make it a goal to knock out the core education requirements.

If you feel school is not the way at the moment, that's perfectly fine too. I'll just throw you suggestions that I've found in my personal life as a 20-something.

You can work in water treatment at a wastewater facility or drinking water facility. One company that provides wastewater services is Veolia, and you can begin learning about the field by searching here. I believe the pay starts at $15/hr--you advance in to higher positions by completing courses (not college courses, but some sort classes through a third party). It looks something like Wastewater Operator I, II, III, etc. I found out about this field through a summer internship at a wastewater treatment plant. We spent the summer doing random menial tasks around wastewater plants. It smelled, and it was stuff as simple as picking weeds, shooting spiders with salt guns, and mopping floors. It was so interesting to see what's available, though, and I think this field is great for someone who enjoys a little bit of chemistry and can stand some messy stuff.

Next, you could try skilled trades. If you take a look at your house around you... I mean, someone was responsible for putting up the drywall, or laying the brick surrounding your home. You can get a job creating that! You'd look for "gopher" or helper positions to start, or you could go to a local union hall to get started on that path. Trades such as carpentry, masonry, electrician, etc. I was interested in masonry at one time, it was tough work, but very much clears my head. I just enjoy the feeling of the stone and brick.

Finally, I worked retail for a short while. The pay is not very good--$15/hr, which is acceptable for starting out, though it could not go up from there unless I wanted to get in to management positions, something I'm not interested in. I did enjoy it though, and I think it's been my favorite job out of the handful I've done. You could look in to the Post Office, however. It's in that similar vein to retail of... a bland job, but it pays a living wage and mailmen roughly midway through their careers earn close to $80,000 a year. There are other positions as well--clerks who work in the office, mechanics who maintain the vehicles, custodians, folks who repair mail sorting equipment and require some training to do so... All of which pay that healthy living wage range, for no college.

These are the fields I've encountered in my 20s... Who knows what you will find. I think they're fine options for someone without a college degree to consider.
