If you have great connections you're fine, I have plenty of friends in airport management, one of my closest friends offered me a management position for one of the terminals.
Since most degrees these days don't pay off anymore I wouldn't suggest going to college unless the field is your big passion (like flying/aviation for me).
A lot of my friends have biology, physics etc degrees and can't find a job since they don't have any connections...
