What are decent to high paying jobs where no college education is required?? |
training a certain number of hours for the job is okay. but what are jobs where you dont need a college education? whats the job and how much does it pay a year? Too often people assume the only route to a good job is through a four-year college or graduate program. Although the majority of good jobs today do require additional education and training after high school, bachelor and graduate's degrees are hardly the only avenues available to aspiring professionals who want an enjoyable job that pays well and offers strong security in the years to come. Of the high-paying occupations with the most job openings for people without a bachelor's degree, several relate to construction and manufacturing. Other openings include registered nurses, general and operations managers, sales representatives, and police and sheriff's patrol officers. Although a four-year degree is not required for many of these jobs, it would give people seeking these career opportunities an edge over competitors. Even without a four-year degree or better, HR Consultants remind people that most jobs still require workers to pursue various routes of education and training. "That may mean enrolling in vocational classes at a technical school, taking a few college courses, training on the job in an apprenticeship program, or getting an associate degree." Some sites to go to for more information. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?fi... http://www.dnaco.net/~dantassi/jobhome.h... http://www.impactpublications.com/index.... http://www.steve-olson.com/10-tips-to-se... Peace and blessings! Postal clerk and letter carrier both start with a pretty decent salary and offer one of the best benefits packages available. All youse gotta do is pass the entrance exam and a background check - I took it and it's not at all difficult. My friend's father is an electrician. I cannot speak for the education or training required, but he has been doing it for awhile now. He makes a little over $90,000 a year. When I was young my mother stressed to me how important a high school education was. Now you not only need a high school diploma but employers expect college degrees to do receptionist or general clerk jobs. I was lucky enough to find a company and stick with them for twenty threee years. I was never paid what I was worth, but by the time I got to fifteen years into the job I would have by then needed a college education to be hired at entry level. I have been told that so much emphasis is put on college degrees because it shows that the applicant has discipline. I had discipline at my mother's knee not at school. Anyway I have wandered off in a rant now. To answer your question, look for small companies that do not have a large corporate structure. There is more of a human element with a family owned company. Also learn everything you can about the company and what skills you will need to do the job. If it is clerical, then make sure you know Microsoft Word and Excel at the bare minimum. If you are offered any seminars or addiional training paid for by the company, take it. Do not get into retail. It is a totally thankless job, with long hours including overtime, holidays, and most definately weekends, it is low pay and thankless work and you have to deal with rude customers who treat you like the dirt on their feet. Also do not go industrial. Factory jobs are hot sweaty, physically demanding and the boss thinks he owns your life. The pay is low for the work you do and atmosphere is like being in junior high. One of the best things you can do is go to a two year college for medical assistant, real estate or dental hygenist. Good luck on your search. Remember just because you can't go to college, it doesn't mean that you are not smart. Plumbers 50-90K yr Electricians 45-95k yr Steel Workers 50-80k yr Drafters 40-90K yr Sales 40-150K yr If decent high paid jobs were available to people with no college education, nobody would need to go to college. Get a life, go to night school, or be a men's room attendant. What do you really love to do? If you like mechanical stuff, be an auto mechanic. They make awesome money, and generally seem like a happy bunch. Plumbers make really good money, and they are always in demand. Its not glamorous, but you can do really well for yourself. Any type of union job is a pretty good deal. My Dad did taxes for several years, and said that the people who worked a lifetime in the auto industry had the highest lifetime earnings, the most money saved for retirement in pensions, etc, and didn't spend way too much on housing, clothes, etc. Auto industry isn't prime now, but my husband works as a telecommunications technician for AT & T, and makes a very good living, has benefits I never dreamed of, and didn't go to college.He just seemed to do really well on a test that 2500 other people who applied didn't. Something with math and science, way over my head! I have made my living at sales. Commission sales of something you really love and believe in is a great way to get instant gratification for your work. Some of the best salespeople in the world didn't get much of an education, just were good at finding out what people needed, and delivering. You can sell anything from cars to airtime on radio to computers, furniture, timeshares or jewelry. From experience, I can say you will do best when you really believe in the product. Otherwise, you will just do okay. If you move to Florida, you can get trained for free by the government in building trades or other areas that are needed for rebuilding after hurricanes. Builders can do really well if you have a good reputation and actually answer the phone, do your job ahead of schedule, and clean up when you are done. Learn how to do a bunch of jobs like carpet, tile, kitchen installation, bathroom remodeling, roofing, and you could fill your life with jobs. Whatever you do, just showing up every day a little early, leaving a little late, giving your best in a days work, earn a reputation for honesty and dependablility, and you can do well. |
