Jobs You Can Get Without a College Degree

You have decided to strike it out on your own after high school and bypass the whole college scene. Or, maybe that degree in underwater basket weaving just isn't paying off quite as lucratively as you could have hoped. Before you condemn yourself to a lifetime of tele-sales or dispensing various fast food products, there are a few jobs out there that you can get without having a degree. I have scene many of these lists elsewhere, and they often list some pretty common career paths. But what if you found out that you just aren't build for the life of an electrician after you realized you can't plug in a lamp without shocking yourself? Maybe plumbing isn't for you since you have that tendency to clog the toilet three times a day without even trying. I went out and made a list of careers that do not require college degrees that may interest the business savvy job seeker.

Real Estate Sales

Everyone talks about real estate markets but few people talk about the people on the front lines. Real Estate agents are paid on a commission basis every time they sell a house. While this is a competitive market and requires a state license, there is no rule that says you need a college degree. Here a state real estate license is more important than a piece of paper stating that you were the king (or queen) of Beer Pong. But before you beginning shopping for luxury cars, let me tell you that starting out, even with a degree may not be the easiest thing in the world. After getting hired and earning your license, you are at the mercy of your new company for quality accounts and floor time. For the hungry career minded individual, however, paying these dues will make you strong for a long and healthy career helping people find their home.
