Jobs that pay well with no degree?

[=WL= LazyLizard5780]

I want a well paying job but I don't want to go through years of study. I don't mean something to make me rich or whatever (I don't plan on getting married) I just want something to help me afford some kind of house (At the very least 23,000 dollars a year)

If you live in the SW US then ranch work is easy enough to find and pays well. ~$80/day with flexible work schedules, but you need to either know someone or have the confidence to approach these old grizzled dudes who expect hard work. If you aren't lazy then you may get to operate equipment after some time, just don't drive a tractor through a wall... I did that once....

Get your CDL and drive a truck. Local until you're 21, then go over the road. Save your money, buy your own truck. You can make $25000 a week if you get with the right company. My dad get's paid $8500 every two days that he drives one of their semi-trucks, because he is normally a dump truck driver but they needed someone, so they called him.

Don't get lazy though, word goes around in the trucking business.

$25000 every week seems a little high? Thats arround 1.3million a year 0.0.

usually those are jobs with high risk of injuring yourself or dying through an accident

Trade jobs.
There's a huge deficit in well paying trade jobs right now in certain countries because everyone fell for the get-a-college-degree-for-good-job meme.

yep

Working with food is actually a good job. Heck.... even people who work dirty jobs get a good amount of pay.

$15 an hour isn't good.

That depends on where you live. In some parts of the US, the cost of living is low enough that $15/hour can be enough to easily get by on, assuming you don't have too much debt (if any).

Any jobs that require coding

Sounds about right.
Blue collar jobs are perfectly respectable.

I don't see how you are going to kill yourself dealing with electronics (Not electricity) as long as you don't eat the soldering iron. Or touch any live wire with a high voltage.

Unions take a lot out of your gross pay - not the best route to start out in if you need to make ends meet. Plus, the numbers your father is making isn't the numbers the OP would make just starting out.

Starting out he would make min 80k a year more than most bachelors. Also you have been misinformed yes unions take dues every month ,but I believe my dad pays 100$ a month and field workers pay 50$ a month (600$ a year). Not going to lie work can be demanding at times ,but its one of the highest paying non degree jobs

im sorry but i highly doubt any trade jobs pay wages of 150k a year im a landscaper and i only earn £610 a week so thats only ~£32,000 per year thats only $43,000

i do not believe they can earn anywhere near that much no trade earns 150k per year provide a source

My brother works in a union. I am not misinformed, the gross income you're talking about is something the OP isn't going to make starting out. When he's been working for some 30 odd years, sure. Until then, he's not going to be making that kind of money walking in the door.

exactly

Depends on where you live, ambitions, personal experience & education (even if self-taught), et cetera. I went through college and had a few friends that dropped college to form their own small businesses, which are presently fairly successful and still in operation. Gabe of Valve dropped out of college to start Steam -- see where an idea and ambition can lead you?

Sure, a college degree will look good on paper and specific jobs within the corporate world usually will require such educational backgrounds, but when comparing education with success, everyone has different perspectives of what success might be.

formal qualifications are needed to get places in life its one offs who get succesful without formal education

but as long as you are happy then stick to it
