20 Great Jobs Without a College Degree

Some states require continuing education and license renewal on some degrees or field of work that earn very mininal. Sometimes the total of this expense can be an entire paycheck! This is so wrong.

 if you are going to make a website, at least do your research. like seriously im 16 and i even know that quite a few of your degreeless careers actually require degrees. you clearly didnt attend college. like seriously if you went to college, you would clearly understand that many of the jobs listed required a minimum of four years and a few required eight years. please, do your research next time. and dont just put shit on the internet. you dont help people. 

Nice way to make that last post about yourself. Ill bet you 10 bucks you we're the one who pressured him into going to that overly expensive college. I like how in the end of this post you tried to make it his fault. It's called bad parenting and it is a pandemic.

who wrote this???  YOU NEED A 2 year college degree to be able to be a Architectural Technician (drafter).   and a 3 year college degree to be an Architectural Technologist.

i am 24 years old with a little bit of community college under my belt and i make over 100000 in a lab at an refinery. experience has paid of for me.

You certainly have your facts wrong on this.  A degree is required to be a dental hygienist.  Much like a nursing degree, the hygienist or an RN takes prerequisites before getting an associates degree or takes a four-year bachelors degree.  In addition to the necessary college then a hygienist must pass a National Board Exam in order to take a practical exam and then must apply for a license in the state in which he/she will practice.  So dental hygienist is far from being a "high paying job with no education"

BA degree in Dental Hygiene, National Boards and State Licensing exam.  5 quarters of general and organic chemistry, 3 quarters of biology, math, embryology, microbiology, psych, speech, English and general ed requirements (2 years) PRIOR to applying and being admitted to a very small class.  Then two more years, many classes in the first year were taken with first year dental students........2 quarters of anatomy with cadavers, histology, pharmacology, pathology, periodontology, anesthesia, etc. etc., in addition to classroom and clinical dental hygiene for two years. RE licensing is required in any state to which you might relocate.  If someone is performing dental hygiene on YOU that has no college degree, get out of that office and run quick! 

... bullshit

All hygienists require at LEAST an Associates DEGREE from a community COLLEGE after a 2 year full time program (ie ALL DAY Mon-Friday), following 1 year or more of prerequisite hard science classes.  Many hygienists have a bachelors degree from a university with a hygiene program.  This is degrading to dental hygiensts who are already fighting ignorance of patients who think that we are an assistant (who does not require an education).  I earned my bacherlors degree from a prestigious private university before going to dental hygiene school.  It was much harder to become a dental hygienist.This is misleading to anyone legitimately looking for a career that does not require extensive training.

Work ethic is one thing, but fair pay is another. I have a b.s. degree and I work damn hard I just Can't keep settling for $15 an hour with three little ones. Oh yeah my manager has no college degree and makes double my salary. The work ethic thing kills me. Because its really all about office politics.

This is incorrect information. Dental hygienist requires either an associates or bachelors degree and you must pass a written and clinical examination prior to obtaining your license. I think you maybe referring to a dental assistant doesn't need a degree

Im 24 and have Criminal Justice degree, from John Jay and can't find job. College is a waste of money and time.

ability is needed in every work

hehehehehe!!!!!!

After years of only working part time to raise our children what are my options for a good paying fulltime job at this point in my life, I am 47 and think going back to college would be a waste of time!! what are some of your thoughts and are there any trade schools that only require 6 months or so training to get in field.
Thank you!!

Union Plumber/$30 per hour or more, Public Transit Operator/$20 per hour or more....I make $70,000 or more per year operating Light Rail Trains.

Get cleared. In the specialized fields with contract. Do your time, set for life.

Whoever wrote this article is clueless about job requirements. A cosmetologist must have about two to three years at a "Beauty School or Academy" and an Architectural Drafter must get a degree from a college to even be considered for a job. This writer fails to report accurately on this subject.

Nowdays I really think people are going overboard on the work ethic thing I have seen how people are getting sick from overwork you think people are lazy? no!!!!. There needs to be balance in life, I have seen people just work without breaks without being able to go to the bathroom, because of bing thought of as lazy. We are human beings and we do get tired, and when we overwork our bodies we pay for it sooner or later.

Please remove this from your list as my daughter is a hygienist who went to college for four years, 2 to get her Associate Degree in Applied Science and two to do Clinic and then take Dental Boards, which takes 4 years to become a Dental Hygienist, so please get your facts straight. You are talking about an assistant, NOT a Hygienist!
