what is a high paying job that only takes a year or less to train for?

Question

I am not sure what I want to do after high school and I just wanted to know if there's a job out there that pays a good amount
money without wasting too much time training or studying for it?

Answer 1

Try looking at X-ray technician. I think you can make between 15-20 per hour. However, I think it at least requires a year and a half of school.

Answer 2

Time spent in training or studying is not necessarily a waste. Many sales jobs have the potential to make a lot of money, but only people that are dedicated and hard working actually earn the big bucks. Plus, you will have to learn about the product or service you are going to sell. Most high income jobs come with the expectation that you will work your butt off and put in a lot of extra hours to get established. Most people I know that are willing to do what it takes to make good money are also willing to put in the time to be trained. Bottom line: high income and training go hand in hand. As far as that goes, even low paying jobs require a fair amount of training these days.

Answer 3

Military Intelligence - Do your research. Even though your initial contract may be 3,4,5, 6 or 8 years the actual training for most intel schools is less than a year. Except for certain language schools and extra cpu training. But after you are out, depending on your location, clearance level and specialty; you could end up making between $50,000 & $100,000k per year easy. (Or not so Easy job like mine) (Remember, you may not be happy while at work but when you can put food on the table and pay child support on time its definately worth it.)

Answer 4

If you want a job that does not require a lot of effort on your part(ie, studying, training), then your not likely to get anything that pays a good amount.

Think about it. If these jobs existed, everyone would be doing them. Supply and demand says, if there is a large supply of these jobs then there will be a lower value applied to them. If the job is harder(ie, requires a lot of hard work and study), then fewer people should be available to meet the demands of that job and thus it is higher paying.

You can't get something for nothing.

Answer 5

those jobs do not exist unless you think working in retail for $8.00 an hour is a good amount of money. go to college or trade school and make something of yourself. school is never a waste of time.

Answer 6

Have to say being a prostitute. Joking a side invewsting in training when you are young will pay 10 fold as you work through your career.
