Yes you can. You just have to find the right job that is willing to take a chance on you but, that's with or without a college degree. If you have any experience in anything, try to find something in that field and work your way up to what you want to do. I have a college degree and my boyfriend doesn't and he makes $17,000.00 more than I do. It can happen, you just have to make it happen and work hard.

It depends on your definition of a "good job". I don't have a college degree and I'm happy with my job in the wine industry. Sometimes employers will accept experience as a satisfactory substitution for education. But it's generally 4 years of experience is equivalent to 1 year of education. So you'd have to have 12 years of experience to have the equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree.

Yes, you can. There are many good jobs available without a college degree, but most of them do require training of some sort. Plumbers, carpenters, steel workers, welders, pilots, mechanics, heavy equipment operators, etc. all make very good salaries and are often quite happy with their jobs. These are great fields for both males and females today - and people to fill these positions are in great demand.

Sure you can! I went to college to get a leg up so to speak - I didn't graduate college until I was 34. I NEEDED the education to boost my income but I bet if I would have started out at my job younger, I would be making the same salary as I am now (which is good).

Yes, you just have to go through vocational training programs like those listed above, or be self-employed... Demand is booming in the healthcare sector- meanwhile there are lots of unemployed college grads out there.

not unless you're very brave and start your own company.
