I tried college and it wasn't for me. Heck, I went to four different colleges and still couldn't find one that taught me how to do anything. Applied to the USPS for a 13 hour a week job and I took it when it was offered. I quit my entry level management job working 40+ hours a week for a part time government job. One year and three months later I applied for a postmasters position and I GOT IT because I planned to move up in the organization and got my ducks in a row. I retired when I was 57 and got a full pension, a nice 401K and Social Security. All of this without a college diploma hanging on my wall. It just a different way to get into management and I succeeded in it. More than one way to skin a cat.
