7 High Paying Jobs, No College Required (In 2020) #Best Education Page #Online Earning

 So, in this video today,

we are going to be talking about

what are the best possible jobs to get out there

that do not require a college education.

This is typically a video I do here once a year

on my channel, and it's usually a pretty popular one.

And the reason why I like to do this video

is because, most people out there believe you need

to get a college education

in order to get a high paying job.

And while that is true in many cases,

it's just not true in all cases.

And so, I think if you're somebody out there

who has decided that maybe college just isn't for you,

or you just don't wanna go into debt

with a college education, these are jobs

that you may want to consider.

All right, so coming in at number one on my list

is getting involved with skilled trades.

Now, this is field that has been frowned upon

for many years, but honestly guys,

there is so much money to be made

if you are interested in being a tradesman.

So, what exactly does this entail?

Well, this could be being a plumber, for example,

or a carpenter, or a mason.

And a lot of people say, "Oh, you know,

"do these guys make a lot of money?"

The truth is, if you are a union tradesman,

the amount of money you can make is unbelievable,

and these jobs often have excellent benefits

and retirement options, as well.

So, most of these skilled trades are going to be union jobs.

For example, I was actually a union utility worker

before I jumped into my career as a YouTuber here,

and we were in the IBEW,

which is the International Brotherhood

of Electrical Workers, and I was part of Local 236.

So, we were in a union,

and that gave us additional protection,

and we were paid a good amount of money

based on what we were doing.

And you do not need a college education

in order to get an apprenticeship with one of these unions.

All you're going to do is figure out

what your local unions are for electrical workers,

or plumbers, or pipe fitters, or whatever it may be,

and then you're going to look

for apprenticeship opportunities.

So, for example, let's look

at the electrical apprenticeship.

With the IBEW, that is going

to be a five-year apprenticeship,

and during those five years,

you are getting paid, and you are working,

and then you just take classes at night.

So, after five years of that apprenticeship,

you will be a journeyman electrician.

Now not only that, during those five years,

you were actually making money

while learning this trade for free.

You don't pay any money in order to learn this skill

through an apprenticeship.

Now, just how much money can you make

as a journeyman electrician, for example.

Well, according to Indeed, the average pay

for a journeyman electrician is now $27.83 per hour.

Not to mention, as I said earlier,

the benefits for these jobs are usually phenomenal,

which includes healthcare, retirement,

and all of that good stuff.

Now, the only downside, you are going to work your butt off.

These are hard jobs where you're doing manual labor,

day in and day out.

So, it's not for everyone, but if you are looking

to make good money, and not into get into debt

with a college education, this is a great area to consider.

And if you're looking to find opportunities,

what you're going to do is type in to Google,

apprenticeship opportunities in your state.

So, for me it would be New York,

or you could look for a local union

and stop in or give them a call,

and ask them what is the process

for getting an apprenticeship?

All right guys, so coming in at number two on my list

is getting a job in sales.

Most of the time, you do not need any college education

for this type of a job,

because usually being a good salesperson

is just a natural-born ability.

Now, there are some things you can do

to improve your sales ability,

but a lot of the times, guys, being a good salesperson

just comes down to your natural ability

of being an outgoing person,

being charismatic, and empathetic.

Now, most people get started in sales

by getting involved in car sales,

or even maybe phone sales

for some of the major carriers out there

like AT&T and Verizon.

And oftentimes, there's on-the-job training

where they will teach you the basics

of what you need to know, and show you how

to be a good salesperson.

And what you will find with most of these jobs,

is they are a commissioned-based sales environment.

So, what that means is, that if you're doing a good job

and you're selling a lot of the product,

you're making more money.

Now, some people thrive in a commission-based environment,

and other people just flounder,

because it's not for them,

and they're not good at being self-motivated,

but there's a lot of people out there in sales

with no college education,

making well over six figures per year.

Now, the one downside to this job

is that you often have to work long hours,

or you have to work weird hours.

So, for example, I was talking to a car salesman once

and he told me he was making some months,

$15, $20,000 per month, but he also told me

that he basically lives at his job,

and works 60 to 70 hours per week.

Now, if you're somebody who loves to work,

and you don't mind that type of environment,

that could be a perfect fit for you.

Or, if you're involved in some kind of retail sales,

like phone sales for example,

you may find that you're working when other people are not,

because that's when they're shopping.

So, you may find you're working nights and weekends,

rather than working your traditional nine to five type job.

So, if that's a deal breaker for you,

maybe this type of sales isn't for you.

Business-to-business type sales

may be a more consistent schedule.

But honestly guys, getting into sales

is one of the best opportunities out there

that typically does not require any college education.

All right, so number three on my list here

is another one that usually makes the list

every single year, and that is getting a job

as a correctional officer.

So, a correctional officer is in charge of the security

of prison facilities.

So, as I'm sure you can imagine,

this isn't going to be the most glamorous job out there.

It's likely going to be dangerous and confrontational.

But, if you are up for the challenge,

this is a field that does pay a good amount

that does not require a college education.

Part of your job here

is going to be preventing prison escapes,

breaking up riots, and then also,

searching inmates cells for contraband.

So, again, this is not a job I would be very good at,

most people would probably say,

"I don't wanna do this", but if you are somebody who says,

"You know what, I'm up for the challenge",

it does pay very well.

According to salary.com, the salary range

for a correctional officer

is about $40,000 to %51,000 per year.

But if you do already have a college degree,

you may start out at a higher base pay,

based on whatever college education that you have.

Now, you do have a couple of options here.

You could work for a private prison,

or if you wanna work for the public sector,

you're going to have to take the Correctional Officer Exam

to work for a public prison.

So, if you are interested in pursuing this field,

all you have to do to look for employment opportunities

is Google correctional officer exam in your state.

So, for me, it would correctional officer exam in New York,

and that will show you what the process is

for finding and taking this exam.

All right guys, so number four on the list

is going to be very similar to number three,

and that is to be a police officer.

Now, in order to become a cop or a police officer,

you don't actually have to get a college education.

The criminal justice degree could help you

get a higher paying job,

or have priority over a different candidate,

but it's not a prerequisite.

Because, instead of going to a traditional college,

you are, instead, going to go

to a state or local police academy

in order to get your certification

and your education to be a cop.

Now, according to payscale.com,

the average police officer is now making

about $51,000 per year, and if you are interested

in getting a job in this field,

you are going to have to complete a police exam.

So, if you're interested in this,

what you're going to do is go into Google

and type in your state, followed by police exam,

and you can learn about the process

for taking that exam.

All right, so number five on my list here

is my old job, which as I said earlier,

was being a utility worker.

And this basically means, working for the power utility

in your area.

And, I'm gonna put this in a different category

than skilled trades, because it is totally different

in terms of the work that you are doing.

So, the entry level jobs working for a power utility are,

oftentimes, collections or being a flagger.

So, that's how I got started, was getting into collections,

which meant I went door to door,

and I collected money for the power utility.

Because most people do pay their bills on time,

but a certain percentage of people do not,

and after a time period goes by,

you have to go to the door, ask for payment,

and if they're unable to pay their bill,

you have to turn off the power or the gas to that building.

So, is this a glamorous job?

Absolutely not.

It is confrontational.

At times it may be dangerous,

but it's a way to get your foot in the door.

And the other job that often goes to the street

is a job as a flagger.

And essentially what that means

is that while the line crews or the gas crews are working

in the roads, you're gonna be in the road directing traffic

as a flagger.

So, you'll be standing on your feet five

or six hours a day directing traffic.

Again, not the most glamorous job,

but it's how you get your foot in the door

with these companies.

So, oftentimes, what they'll do,

they'll put those jobs out to the street

as temporary employment, and then once that job period ends

where they need you for, they look to hire you

as a full time employee.

And that is how I got hired for my local power utility,

which is National Grid.

Now, I had a two-year degree in electrical construction

and maintenance, which did help me get the job,

but you don't have to have a college degree to work there.

I was able to get one of my friends a job there,

and he didn't have any college degree.

However, it did take him about one year

of applying for jobs, in order to get a job

with this company.

So, it may take a long time, but it's well worth it

if you can get in there.

Back when I got this job in 2015,

my based pay was $27.20 per hour.

And now, entry-level pay for this company

is above $30 per hour.

So, especially if it's a union utility,

you can make a lot of money with these jobs.

So, what you're gonna wanna do

is take out your electrical bill,

look at who your utility provider is,

type that into Google followed by the word careers,

and that will show you what job opportunities are available,

and I would recommend checking back every couple of weeks,

and just consistently applying for jobs

at this utility.

All right guys, so number six on my list

is getting a job as a postal worker.

And it's funny, because here I am making this video today,

and this actually showed up in my mailbox.

They're actually sending around flyers looking for people

for the postal service.

So, right on this flyer, for example,

it tells us the Rural Carrier Associate, RCA,

$18.19 per hour.

It does not require any college education.

Now, a good time to look for employment

with UPS, USPS, FedEx, is going to be

around the holiday season,

because that is when there is the most demand

on the postal systems,

so they oftentimes hire temporary employees

for the holidays.

But again, what you'll often find

is that they will take the best employees,

and oftentimes, give them the opportunity

for full time employment at the end of the season.

Now, if you wanna work for the USPS,

since this is a public sector job,

you have to complete something called the 473 Postal Exam.

And there are practice tests online

and different resources available,

but what you wanna do if you are looking for that job

is type in the 473 postal exam, followed by your state,

and that will give you more information on that.

Or if you're looking for UPS, FedEx,

you would just go on their website

and look for the career section.

UPS and FedEx may have their own exam or process,

but it's different than USPS,

because that's private sector, and not a public sector job.

All right guys, so the last one on my list here,

number seven is getting a job as a truck driver.

Now, again, is this the most glamorous job out there?

Some people would say yes, and some people would say no.

If you like being by yourself,

and you don't mind the long hours,

and traveling all of the time,

you may love the job as a truck driver.

But if you wanna settle down and have a family,

it's probably not going to be the field for you.

But because it is kind of a demanding job

with unique requirements, it does pay

a good amount of money.

So, the first step to get a job as a truck driver,

is you need your CDL, or commercial driver's license.

And before you get that, you need to get your permit.

So, what you're going to do is contact your local DMV,

and ask them what the process is

to get a commercial driver's permit.

Then, you're going to have to go to truck driver's school,

and that is where they're going to teach you

how to drive commercial vehicles, so you can get your CDL.

Now, truck driver school is going to cost

around $3,000 to $7,000 on average.

However, once you have your CDL,

you can apply for a variety of different jobs out there.

And just to circle back to number five here,

if you're looking to get a job as a utility worker,

a lot of those jobs do actually require a CDL.

So, it is a good license to have under your belt,

and it can open you up to other job opportunities out there.

So, once you have your CDL, you're gonna wanna check

with some of the big hauling companies out there,

like Swift, Schneider, and J.B. Hunt

for different job opportunities.

Now, just how much can you make as a truck driver?

Well, according to Indeed,

the average truck driver makes $1,097 per week,

which translates to just about $57,000 per year

with no college education.

All you need to have is that truck driving school

and that CDL under your belt.

So, anyways guys, that's gonna wrap up this video.

Those are seven jobs out there that are high paying

that do not require a college education.

If anybody is currently working in any of these fields,

drop me a comment down below.

Let me know what your experience is,

if you would recommend that job to other people,

or if you would not recommend it.

That kind of feedback is always very beneficial.

But, thanks so much for watchin' this video, guys.
