Many construction trades probably pay that or even more.

The general rule is that you can make money with your head or make money with your back.  Without some sort of education, using your head is probably out of the question.

You bet. None of my sons have college experience and all three of them earn over $50,000 per year. One is a diesel mechanic, one is a manager in a global logistics company and the other is a truck driver.

Jobs making 3000 a month or more generally require a high school diploma plus some additional training. And btw you WANT 3000-3500. WANT is different from NEED.

You'll need a skill - plumbing, electrician, carpentry, masonry, etc. You will never make that in retail or in a warehouse position. You could make that as an OTR trucker, but you'd be away from home a lot.

Sure, if you start low, work hard and work your way up. Would probably take 2-5 years to make that kind of money.  Nobody asks you to prove a high school diploma. So consider lying.

Also learn the $ sign goes after the number.

Expecting to start at even $1800 at age 20 is unrealistic. 

$3,000 a month is only about $36,000 a year, that's not a whole lot of money.

(obviously to at least two losers on site, that's more money than they ever dreamed making)
