Not going to college does NOT limit how much money you can make. On average, earnings are lower between high school grads and college grads, but the variations within each group are greater than those between the groups. For instance, you have Mark Zuckerberg who's made a ridiculous amount of money. Yes, I know that allegory is probably overused. I also have a former coworker who just retired and never went to college. In his last working years he was a self-employed consultant probably pulling in twice as much money as me. We all found out he only had a high school diploma at a work retreat one day, none of us had any idea.
The trick is to focus on building generic skills with value. This means that by practicing the skill, you allow your employer (or yourself if you're being an entrepreneur) to benefit monetarily in some way. Being a 911 operator is a valuable skill only to an organization that needs 911 operators, but the individual skills required are not that valuable. That said, if you want a short-term gig while you figure this out there's nothing wrong with that.
Being able to install plumbing to code is a valuable skill.
Being able to design or build a website that meets a set of business requirements is a valuable skill.
Being able to manage others and keep a project on schedule/on budget is a valuable skill.
Being able to teach people new skills is a valuable skill.
Being able to convince others to purchase something is a valuable skill.
The people who have any of the above skills (meaning they are actually good at doing those things) don't have a problem finding work, regardless of whether or not they have a college degree. College can be a great way to build skills that you can use to get a nice job, but it's not the only way to do it and it's not a guaranteed outcome.
By the way, some things which are NOT valuable skills in and of themselves: researching, writing, forming opinions, attending or organizing meetings, working well with others/being a "team player," time management, and punctuality. You need to be able to use such skills to do something valuable. If you need to build these basic skills, though, any job you take will get you moving in the right direction.
