What are some good jobs that don't require a college degree?

Question

Aside from factory work or food service? Going back to college isn't feasible for me right now and I'm looking for a good job to support my family.

Something that offers on the job training would be ideal.

Answer 1

Well, the truth is if you look hard enough and worry long enough, you are going to be disappointed for a long time, I know I have been. Good jobs without a degree are really, really hard to find. However, never give up. As of today I got a really great, well paying job at Monumental insurance.
So, If you are looking for a great job look into the insurance industry. Most companies will pay for your license and transfer fee to help get you started.

By the way your family sounds like a very lucky bunch if you are willing to help support them, just dont give up and it will all get better, Trust me.

Answer 2

Real Estate Broker

Stock Broker (you don't HAVE to have a degree but it helps)

Pilot (again you don't HAVE to have a degree, but you do need lots of expensive training)

However for each of those three jobs there is training and study involved. If you don't have time to go to college then you might not be able to get into those professions.

Have you considered a part time or distance learning degree?

Answer 3

most of the well paying jobs require a certain amount of training, either on-the-job or college or vocational school. the ones that don't require training don't pay well. even some that don't pay well now require training, such as day car workers. go to the library or go online and search occupations. you can take assessment tests that will help you match your skills to a job.

Answer 4

you could try leaning one of the union trades, like carpenter or electrician or plumber. those pay well and dont need a degree, but you will need to spend a lot of time training.
