Best Jobs That Don’t Require A Four-Year College Degree
College isn’t for everyone. We’ve talked about this on the show before. It’s not a question of intelligence. For some people, college just isn’t a good fit and, in many cases, four more years of academics might not make sense. If someone is drawn to a career path which offers lucrative earnings and job satisfaction, and that doesn’t require a four-year degree, then there’s no point in paying all of that tuition and spending all of that time in a classroom.
Of course, some of these jobs are better than others. SkillPointe has just come out with their first-ever Job Score Report, revealing the best jobs that don’t require a four-year college degree.
