What jobs that pay above the minimum wage, which are not connected to the fast food or retail sales industry, are available to a friend of mine who never finished high school. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but i wouldn't call him stupid either.

Security guard......he'd have to pay to be passed through the course, but after that the wage is pretty good!! Especially on weekends or nights!! Anyone can do it and pass it!!

My brother never finished high school (nor did he get a GED yet) and he is a truck driver - and makes far more than minimum wage (and has also worked in construction and as a mechanic) - he's far more smarter than he thinks he is.

Well, I only graduated 5 years ago, i was a nerd but hey it was worth it , now i am a management fund officer and i have a great income for someone my age, and i few weeks ago i saw one of the popular girls, i used to know from high school, at the shops, her hair was ruined and she was holding two kids,,and she was yelling at them the whole shop could hear her. i wanted to go say but i didn't. later i saw , her walk of with another man, depression i what i saw in her. It really shocked me and i now come to think that is what happens to "the populars" after high school, they don't graduate they don't go to uni, and they become drug addicted . :(

Construction pays really well, road construction, for instance. Or, if he has cojones enough to get a GED he can be a truck driver, which takes some brains, for sure, but if he can drive a car, he can learn to drive a truck.

he should work some part time job at the mall while finishing high school on the side so that he could get a better job to support himself.

There are tons of jobs he could get. My husband didn't graduate either and he makes over 50k a year so far and he just started there two years ago. He drives heavy duty tow trucks.

Oil patch hires rig hands. There are lots of warehouse type places. Maybe he can find an apprenticeship that he would like to do.
