High-Paying Careers That Don't Require a College Degree
Published in Workplace 101
While many high-paying jobs require a college degree, there are exceptions where skills, experience, and talent can lead to a well-compensated career.
Commercial pilots, for instance, don't need a college degree, but they do require specialized training and a pilot's license. They can earn a substantial income, especially with several years of experience.
Elevator installers and repairers also earn high salaries. Their training often comes from apprenticeships. They work on installing, repairing, and maintaining elevators, escalators, and similar equipment.
Real estate brokers, with enough experience and success, can also earn well without a college degree. They need a high school diploma, a real estate license, and excellent negotiation and sales skills.
Likewise, the tech industry offers lucrative roles, like web developers or network specialists. Though some of these roles may require specific certifications, they typically don't require a four-year degree.
Finally, trades like electricians, plumbers, or HVAC technicians can lead to high-paying careers, particularly for those who go on to run their own businesses.
