What is the capital of Tunisia?

‘How else…’ (Rhetorical question)

Que faire d’autre pour avoir un bon job?

Mes parents souhaitent que je fasse des études supérieures. Comment réussir dans la vie autrement ?

I’d use the conditional to mark that it’s a hypothetical.

Mes parents ont très envie que j’aille à l’Université — comment réussirais-je autrement ?

Mes parents ont très envie que j’aille à l’Université — comment pourrais-je réussir autrement ?

Or, more "boastful" maybe,

Mes parents ont très envie que j’aille à l’Université — quoi d’autre, pour réussir ?

In speech, réussir without context is a bit unusual, so I’d probably say réussir dans la vie. That means to succeed in one’s life, in general, not necessarily referring to any particular contest:

Mes parents ont très envie que j’aille à l’Université — sans ça, quelle serait ma chance de réussir dans la vie ?

By combining notions found in two of the existing answers, I think you could limit the notion of “vie” to that of “having/finding a good job” as proposed by @xenoid by using “vie professionnelle” (if that’s what you really mean by “be[ing] successful”), and use it with “comment réussir … autrement,” not only intransitively as proposed by @jlliagre, however, but also in its transitive form as follows:

“Mes parents souhaitent que je fasse des études supérieures. — Comment réussir ma/la/sa vie
professionnelle

autrement ?”

(example of “comment réussir” used transitively from business-leaded.ch)

Please note that I think you could also tag an appropriate declaration with the formal “n’est-ce pas?” (or simply with the less formal and potentially more emphatic “non?”) to make it sound like a rhetorical given, perhaps as follows:

“Mes parents souhaitent que je fasse des études supérieures.
Finalement, c’est le seul
moyen de réussir [dans] la vie professionnelle, n’est-ce pas?/non?
