Whats a high paying job that doesn't take 8 years of college, and isn't a doctor or lawyer?


Question:
I'm 18, and I don't know what I want to be, I can't afford to go to an 6-8 yr college, maybe 5-6 yrs at the most... and get paid at least 65-70k a year... do you suggest anything?

Answer:
plumber. average yearly wages were $43,000 in 2003.

You work your way up to the big bucks. That does not come to you right away.
I joined the military and got training for being an electrician. From there, I got on-the-job training constantly, as well as books specifically for my current experience level. Electricians working in the construction industry start out at about $55,000 annually for working at Caterpillar.
go in the service and volunteer for Iraq. At the end of two years you will get a big bonus for signing up again. If you get killed your family will get the insurance, and if you dont you can get a big scholarship that will let you go to 8 years of college. Simple!

Do you want to be a success or not? This is a way to do it.

Depends on what kind of work you want to make as your career. My husband is a Union Millright. He makes close to $25.00 an hour on most jobs, depending on union scale. If you are more of the "office, inside" type. Starting out a teller in a bank is good. You can always move up, in the corporation, become a loan officer, branch manager...board director. East and West coast are good places to look for the $$$$$. Just my thoughts...good luck!
u can go 4 aeronautical/electrical/teleco... engineering.they have a gr8demand wid a gud salary.this education needs ur 4 yrs in college.
That kind of salary without education, hmmm:
I come up with four:

drug dealer
pin up modell
porno modell
start an own small business
Real Estate Agent
Insurance Sales
Financial Services Sales

You can get a license for each of the aforementioned without going to college at all; My suggestion is to at least get your bachelor's degree and consider your options while you are in college. Also remember most people earning 65-70k either know someone (who will hire them) or have years of experience to get to that pay grade. You can also get a commission based sales position which could have no real limit to your earnings. In any case, stay in school as long as you can because it is much harder to return to school when you are older and have other obligations such as a family and or a morgage.
First off starting off in any job start out with a lower income and then over the years works up to a higher paying job.
Most high paying jobs you will need a college degree or at lease trade school (2 years)
Even starting up your own business you will need money for start up cost.
Do some research on different professions to get an idea of income and if you are interested in the profession.
Sorry that's the best I can give you on an answer.
nursing, medical transcriptionist, information tech, flight attendant
If you have the qualifications, you might consider Clark University in Worcester, MA (pronounced "wooster"). They have an accelerated program that allows you to get a Bachelor's and Master's in 5 years combined. There are a variety of majors from which to choose. This is supposed to be a unique program, but there are probably other accelerated Masters programs out there.
A good place to start is to think about what you enjoy doing. As a professional, you will spend more time at work than you will at home, and no amount of money will overcome the misery of being in the wrong career; I know from experience.
