With a booming economy, there is a shortage of skilled workers including the crafts, manufacturing, healthcare and sales (didn't see this one coming).
"... the following sectors and roles most at risk for talent shortages between now and 2025:
- Skilled trades, including electricians, machinists and welders
- Healthcare, including occupational and physical therapy aides
- Manufacturing, including production workers and engineers
- Sales, including professionals with a solid combination of social and cognitive skills
- Math-related fields, including actuaries and statisticians"

A number of these jobs don't require a university degree, especially, the skilled trades -- community college, or apprenticeships in a union would be the best path. I'd suggest a couple of basic business courses at a community college later if one wished to start their own business.
