High Paying Jobs Without A College Degree

College is become less and less important in the corporate world.

There will always be jobs where you will most likely need a college degree: lawyer, doctor, accountant, engineer. You need that degree, because the government requires licensing to be a part of that profession. Those will always be high paying jobs.

But what if I do not want to go to school for 12 years to become a doctor? Because I do not like medicine or science.

Most jobs in the corporate world you can learn how to do without going to college.

Start building your skills. Get real world experience. Find a mentor. Work hard and keep upgrading your salary or start your own business.

I plan to take the Real Estate agent exam this year or early next year. I guess this will be a part-time thing for me.

I didn't know you can be a cybersecurity specialist without a degree?

Cyber is definitely in demand. Generally a person can get an online security certification and start work. Again, takes a little experience to start making big money, but it is so in demand it does not take too long

How many months of training do you need to become a commercial pilot?

You do not need a degree, but you need 1,500 flying hours and you have to pass a test. It can take a while to acquire the hours, but you be a flight instructor in the mean time to acquire the hours needed.

I see cool!
