What are some high paying jobs without a college degree for a 21 y/o?

	What are some high paying jobs without a college degree for a 21 y/o? I certainly can not afford college and I do not want to be in debt. What are some fields that do not require a college degree? I want to earn a lot of money, but it is very difficult for me to go to college. I do not want to sit and waste my time, when I can be earning money now. I am interested in Business, finance, and entertainment: tv and film. Thanks :) Asked By: - 9/24/2011

None at all there are lots of people out of work with degrees that will get the job before you Answered By: Orlando Delacruz - 9/24/2011

Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard [not the USMC - that was a terrible decision on my part]. After your active duty, the educational benefits are superb - thanks to then-Senator Obama. You will be able to attend any accredited university that accepts you. Answered By: Cochise - 9/24/2011

High paying jobs, without a college degree are slim. Usually you would need a specific skill. (computer programmer, mechanic, writer, etc) Acting could work, but you need the skill. There are entry level positions that can lead to well paying jobs. What do you mean by high paying? Some people consider $50,000 high paying, others $100,000. Answered By: Mike - 9/24/2011
