It may not pay excessively high, but insurance is always something to look into. It's a career (may start out low, but you'll move up), and it tends to pay pretty well. You just need to get licensed. Banking also is pretty good, an entry level job and you can often move up from there, and it's not the lowest pay scale.

Construction trades and other skilled trades, some assembly line jobs - though those are becoming rarer. Also being your own boss if you start your own company - just pick a service or product where a degree is not required and get your qualifications in order to do it. Some careers use on the job training, others want you to get some vocational work under your belt first. But if you are not getting the degree, avoid jobs where the top position eventually does require a degree - because it may not mean much now, but when you are in your 40's or 50's and can't be promoted due to a missing degree - you will be crushed! Talk to the folks at the local vocational schools about what they are training people for - or just head to the local employment agency and take some jobs until you find a field you like - but watch out, they will want you to work small goods assembly or telemarketing and those jobs are always low-paying. Also be sure that if your career is physically demanding, there is a point in the promotion track where you no longer have to do that work, you just supervise it, because as you approach middle age, you will fiind that you cannot do some work all day long anymore.

Entry level high paying jobs for people without college and no experience do exist, but you should also consider whether you would be happy doing them. Many of these jobs are very labor-intensive or operational in nature, and thus pay well because few people want to do them. Many people in the highest paying jobs with no degree are self-employed, government workers, or union workers. But the best paying jobs overall will require some kind of schooling or experience in a specific trade.

If those kinds of jobs were easy to think of, alot of people wouldn't go to college.
Even with college, high paying jobs don't come automatically. It depends on your mental and people skills, your ability to solve problems (because that's what business is--90% problem solving), and your passion for doing some sort of work. People who earn good money put in lots of man hours and are very committed. I haven't met a wealthy person who earned his own money by working only 40 hours a week.
It's funny--the amount of work searching to find a high paying job will require the same kinds of work you need to get a college degree. So get a degree.

Health care is a very good field to get into. Certified Nursing Assistants are in high demand and the pay is well above minimum and you work your way up fast. Construction work is tough work but the pay is good. Working in the oil fields is also high pay but hard work. I don't know your age, but the military is good pay and they train you. You have quite a few choices and many offer adventure and new friends.

As a female, there aren't many. Males can always fall back on doing manual labor, and can make a bundle by specializing in something.
I honestly can't think of anything that doesn't involve getting dirty, doing hard work, and getting ragged on mecilessly by your male coworkers for being the only girl.
You'll probably have to start at the bottom of the ladder somewhere and hopefully move up in the ranks. Or become a secretary.
Or marry a rich guy :)

Sales, commission based but you have to be good. I have a friend in Los Angeles that makes 25,000 a month in commission for the company that I work for and he reps 10 other companies that do far better than our little company.

For a non-college job sanitation workers get paid a whole lot. But if I may make a suggestion- get a degree online.

I live in Alberta, Canada.
Trades pay really really well here.
My boyfriend didn't go to college or get any formal training and he makes thirty five dollars an hour. He's only 22.
