At present time the number of Americans with college degrees is something under 25%.
To be perfectly frank on the subject, that means 75% of the population can’t be a computer or communications engineer, biotech guy or researcher.

I’ve met more than one (each) computer and biotech engineer without a college degree. BTW, last I checked being a mortgage broker did not require a college degree either. In fact, you can (and multiple people have) become a very wealthy stock broker and salesman without a college degree.
