I'm not sure
that my classmates in HS who mostly did not go to
college-- not that there's anything wrong with that--
would have the interest in politics or the funds to
make large political donations.

"If" most of your classmates did not go to college, that means the
"most" do
not make a whole lot of money....

Follows how?

I'm pretty sure my plumber makes more than me and I have a
graduate degree (science). And he can afford not to show up,
I can't.

Look at the statistics on income vs. education. But to more
directly answer
your point, obviously there are always exceptions to the general rule.

yes, there's more office folk with little or no college education than
there are construction contractors. This skews the 'income' side of
that statistic way downward, don't you think?

That I'm trying to say is that a 'do you want fries with that' college
degree may be the minority, so that college educated people on
average make more money than non-college educated ones, but
the carpenters, plumbers, electricians etc. among us probably make
in most markets make more then those of us with even the more
technical degrees.
