10 jobs you can make a living at (that don’t require a college degree)

WASHINGTON — If you’re looking for a job where you can make a decent living but don’t need a diploma, CareerBuilder has a list of 10 jobs that pay $20 or more per hour, have grown over the last five years, are projected to grow over the next five years and don’t require a college degree.

“The path to success is different for everyone,” Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder, said in a release.

“You can build a lucrative career through apprenticeships, postsecondary certificates or on-the-job training. There is significant demand for workers in everything from skilled trades to technology and health-related fields, and you can get your foot in the door without a formal degree,” Ferguson said.

The list includes historical and projected growth rates and average hourly earnings for in-demand occupations.

It also provides the typical entry-level education requirement, though this might vary depending on the employer.
