2. Introduction
Judging by the current economic situation, it might seem hard to carve
out a place for yourself in the labor market and earn a decent living,
especially with no degree to your name. However, even if going to
College represents a great opportunity for people who can afford it, it is
by no means a prerequisite to becoming a successful person.
Time and again, history has proven that university diplomas
are overrated. Many entrepreneurs hit the jackpot with
nothing but their street smarts and a great deal of motivation.
If you would like to follow in their footsteps and earn a good
wage, bear with us as we discuss the top paying jobs
available to people with no degree.
3. Firefighters & Cops
For people who are easily bored, who
hate desk jobs and want a position
that will provide them with the daily
action they seek, working as a
firefighter or in law enforcement
might be a good option to consider.
Even if this represents the lowest annual salary on our list
with around $50,000 a year (which is not too shabby if you
ask us), the wage of firemen and detectives is usually
accompanied by other interesting fringe benefits such
as health & dental insurance and retirement pension. When
you do the math, you quickly realize what a nice proposition
it can be.
4. Sales
If you want to go where the real money is, sales is your destination.
Whether it be cars, insurance packages or real estate that you offer,
every industry has the potential for riches. Did you know that a great
deal of people who join the ranks of millionaires every year in the
US are salesmen and women? How is it so? There are two factors in
play here: the commission you earn on the sale (which can be quite
huge with properties and big cars) and the continuous revenue that
selling such items as insurance can provide you with.
The only criterion required to enter the profession is a
true passion for people. If you have the fire inside you
and truly want to help people (by finding the perfect
offer to fit their needs), you will be able to build strong
and lasting relationships with a clientele that will come
to value you, your advice and services.
5. Entrepreneurship
Nothing is – at the same time – as
liberating and scary as deciding to
become an entrepreneur. It represents
the archetype of the profession for the
person with no degree as you will be
the one creating your own job here!
There are no restrictions to what you can set out to
accomplish. From creating a copywriting service to
launching a dog grooming company, your imagination is
your only boundary. The goal, if you pursue that path,
will be to turn a passion of yours into an occupation
for life that can potentially make you quite rich. But the
main satisfaction that you will derive comes from a deep
sense of accomplishment.
6. Internet Marketing
Internet Marketing is in a class of its own as it requires close to
nothing in funding to be started and you can do it part-time on
the side while trying to escape from your lousy minimum wage
job. The way it works is simple, you will build/collect a list of
contacts around a particular topic or hobby (called a niche), and
you will try and help that list by giving your advice and helping
every member to the best of your ability. The money will come
from the products you advertise to them as you earn a
commission on every sale you generate.
If you can make a decent living with the
aforementioned strategy, the real riches lie in
creating your own (digital) product. Once other
IM’ers begin to promote your ebooks, videos and
seminars, you will see the money pouring in from
every side.
7. Agent
This profession is not for everyone. To
give you a good headstart as an agent,
you either need to know someone on the
inside, a marketable person in your circle
of acquaintances or be so dedicated that
you are ready to do anything to find a rare
jewel and convince her to side with you.
On the other hand, no other job is as glamorous and
exciting as being an agent. Not only will you be
interacting with talents of all kinds on a daily basis, from
athletes to actors, singers and writers, you will be paid
handsomely to do so! To act as the middleman between a
talent and her sponsors, you can expect to earn in the
vicinity of $90,000.
8. Conclusion
The single most important factor in deciding whether you
will be successful in your professional life is not the school
you went to or the degree you earned. Even though it
helps, there are plenty of high-paying jobs for the self-
taught as we have seen in this presentation.
You just must be willing to pay your dues and do what is
necessary to put all the chances on your side. Whether it is
to move to another town to pursue an opportunity or to work
12 hours a day to build your business, if you really want it,
go for it! You might just become the next success story…
