Welding, auto repair (though the barrier to entry is tools), HVAC, electrician, plumbing, etc.
College as a "necessary tool" to get work is seriously broken. I've considered hanging up my "programming" hat and becoming a fabricator (welder, machinist, etc). Not because of the money, but because I know 1) I could make a decent wage and 2) I would enjoy the work more.
