It really all depends on the person but things have also changed in the work world. Years ago you could walk on to a job, get hired and THEN learn a trade as you worked.
My wife is a teacher. Teachers are VERY well paid in Canada and have a retirement plan that's second to none. Her parents motivated her to go to university right after high school while many of her friends took jobs, bought vehicles etc. Whenever she would go home she'd be jealous that all her friends had nicer stuff than she did and lots of fun and freedom.

Part of it might be because I live in a small town and I have proven myself very competent at what I do. In a larger city I might not be so lucky to find good work without a degree.
My feeling though is that the only thing that limits your success is YOU!
