Wonderful person, the list goes on and on. So if you'd like the full list, just drop me a few lines and I will be happy to get it right out to you.

Personally, what I have found to be the best determiner of the kinds of careers to choose is to first do a thorough assessment and evaluation of your God-given skills and talents. Ask yourself what are you good at doing; what do you enjoy doing even if you didn't get paid? And then, mostly like, your career lies somewhere within and among those variables. Take your talents awesome soul and build your own business. That's the true dream. Don't work for others the rest of your life, especially if you want to have financial freedom. Therefore, ultimately you must become your own boss. And yes dear person, it can be attained with or without a high school diploma even. Take a few minutes and review all of the multibillionaires and millionaires in the world that didn't finish school or only high school. So you see nothing is impossible with your willingness to put in a bit of sweat, hard work, tenacity, grit, perserverance. You get the idea.

I hope this helped. I wish you much success and good fortune on your journey.

PS. I will even send you several self-inventories and self-assessment tools to try as additional support in figuring out what is the best types of careers you are most suited for that require minimal education in the United States.
