Answer 1

Medical field. You could start as a CNA now which requires no college. YOu could slowly work your way on up with education. They medical field pays well and always needs people.

Answer 2

I know your feeling. You want to do good, but you also want to make money. There are many jobs you could perform that would enable you to help people. Unfortunately, very few of them allow you to earn a decent living income. In reality, there are only two ways to go: either you work for someone else and make other people rich while having the insecurity of being fired at any time; or you establish your own business and deal with the stress of managing an entire organization/business, the overhead expenses, financial risk involved, taxes, employee troubles, you name it. If you are ready to make a difference in the world, you must have the means to do it. Money is a vehicle and not the destination in itself. Keep an open mind because you never know when the angel of God is knocking at your door with a blessing. If you are unsure of what I am telling you, just ask yourself HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? (The Money, of course). Could you donate some monye to charity if you had it? Could you do volunteer work without having to worry about paying the bills? If you are like me; if you would like to help people, make good money, AND have the time to enjoy it, I strongly urge you to check out the following website: http://www.americhoice.unfranchise.com

First of all, congratulations on your achievement!!

Depending on where you live, you could try a health insurance company or medical group practice. Their customer service people make a HUGE difference in people's lives, and you usually do not need a college degree to get the job.

I'm a bit biased because I work in healthcare administration, but you'd get a lot of satisfaction from seeing the patients get the services they need. Once you earn your degree, there'd be opportunities for advancement.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Working at retail stores,(being a manager), customer service representative, government jobs, contract jobs, etc. Try doing internships and co-op while you are working toward your degree. Talk to your school career person, they can really help me out and lead you in the right direction!
