Is there any (not illegal) jobs that pay at least $60,000 a year and DON'T require a college education?

You can polish my shoes and clean for me and drive me about, when I win the lottery..

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom



He had an undistinguished education at Rutlish Grammar School and left school at 16. He applied to become a bus conductor, but his application was rejected, allegedly because of poor arithmetic. His first job was as a clerk in an insurance broking firm in 1959, and, for a time, he worked manufacturing gnomes with his brother, Terry Major-Ball. He eventually went to work as an executive at Standard Chartered Bank in May 1965 where he rose quickly through the ranks, before leaving on his election to Parliament in 1979. He is an Associate of the Institute of Bankers.

only one thing can follow this

Can I teach myself math? Then I could go to a business college and have a better chance of keeping up w/ everyone else

Just because your not good in a classroom doesn't make you stupid....

I get bored really easy and have started and not completed so many courses, when i was 17 I dropped out of yet another set of A level courses and as my mom was really REALLY annoyed with me i got an office job,

I picked everything up so easy and within a year i was an office manager the youngest in the company, what you need is something that you are good at and can shine in....


short skirts and help too, (i am joking about that one i didn't use it but i guess it works)



don't feel stupid

another idea would be to rob a bank or ermmmmm sleep with a married star and black mail him/her actually a her would be more interesting,

I think i'll shut up now

I can't even get an office job. I want one but I can't get one I'm not really good at anything. I've nevered "shined" in my life.

i started right at the bottom, saturdays when they had minimal staff that wanted to work and holiday times,

you just need to get a foot in the door and more often than not the people who start at the bottom and work there way up are the ones that shine cause they learn it the right way.

I hate office work, I was just good at it which is annoying, if it's what you want to do though apply for everything even stupid possitions office junior ect, use it as a ladder until you get where you want.

The hardest thing to do is get a foot in the door you will get there

My boyfriend is an advisor at a college, and he tells people that are having trouble to work the system as best as you can, for example he and a 37 yr old woman that was having troubles with her foreign language to take the first 6 weeks and drop the class, study that material till the next semester and then she will be ready for the class the next time around.

LaCoyta said:

You're way too negative. You need to suck it up and take some classes somewhere. If you need extra help then you make sure you get extra help. You keep telling yourself you can't and you're believing it. I was soooo not a good student in highschool. I had no choice but to go to a community college and ya know what? I freaked out, thought I couldn't do it but I made Dean's list every semester because I forced myself to get the help so I would understand.

So get out of your funk and take some classes. Education is so important now and unless you're doing something illegal or get EXTREMELY lucky you're not going to make 60 grand a year. And if you wanna make 60 grand you're gonna need a bachelor's degree and lots of work experience.

I was thinking of going to a two year business college someday but those places are crawling w/ math. I'd love to be able to understand math but I read math instructions then forget them instantly. I'd rather not go to college looking like a retard I want to be able to do math like everyone else I don't want to be in a retard class.
I'd settle for $40,000 a year, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

Carrie has the right idea and above all hang on to your self esteem. You can do anything if you learn how and set your mind to something.

LaCoyta said:

Have you thought about becoming an economist. Your dodgy knowledge of math will be looked upon as a virtue!

LaCoyta said:

Sorry, but without a degree 40K is still hard to get. I don't even make that and I have a degree. You're asking for the impossible ya know...you have no education and you want to get paid like you have one. Other things factor into salaries as well...I may not take home 40 grand but I only pay 7 bucks a month for health insurance, I get 5 weeks paid vacation, a sick day a month, free schooling and a retirement package that is unheard of. So if you add all that up you could say that would be equal to about 50 grand a year...more if I get my bachelors or masters degree.

Like I said before, if you want a good paying job ESPECIALLY in the buisness field you need to go back to school and deal with it. You can go to a community college at first, I went to one and loved it. Classes are smaller so you get more one on one with the professors. They get paid to help you, so ask for it.

So start thinking realistically. Because right now you're not!

I have many of the same difficulties with math. I always thought that I was just stupid or something, but about a year ago I had a mathmatician friend tell me that he's certain I suffer from Dyscalclia (sp?). Its essentially the same as Dyslexia, only it effects the math portion of the brain instead of the language centers. Might be worth your while to check into it (I know I plan on being officially diagnosed in the near future)

Prostitution in the State of Nevada is not illegal. It's fun you get to have alot of sex and you get paid.

It's no brainer lots sex and you get paid. You actually don't even have to leave the bed. It's finalized I'll get the paperwork.

What about a skill type job where she won't have to worry about when she turns fourty and she's broken down and can't hook?

kobra said:

If she invested her money properly by starting a 401k and investing in slow growth safe stocks she wouldn't have to worry about fourty because she would be a millionaire by then. It wouldn't take away from her lifestyle by the amount of money becaue it wouldn't actually be that much so take your hissing somewhere else and La Coyta start working at the ranch outside of Reno. They have great health benefits and I think you would like it considering your lack of education and your lack of a desire or effort into education.
