Start you own business.

Go in the trades

Construction pays well

Become a brick layer

Plumbing

In the world we live in, jobs that don't require a degree are struggling to find people because everybody has a college degree.



What patlal said any of the Building/Construction trades pay well A union heavy equipment opperator aprentice makes between 15 and 17$ an hour and the union pays for most of your schooling and same for electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, painters. I know people who do all of this work and they make more than most people with college degrees.

Pretty much anyone can get start some kind of Online Business or get on some kind of Online Hustle. You just need an idea, some creativity and of course motivation.

I have one friend who buys Crystals & Gems in Bulk from South Africa and then resells them on etsy.

I have another who makes artwork (he is an art major) and sells it online.

I have another friend who started an herb site selling kratom, aphrodisiacs, health foods, and the like. He is very successful.

My mom makes Beads & Necklaces with her torch setup and makes decent money selling them on ebay.

I know a few full-time bitcoin traders who make good money.

You can do whatever you want. Just be creative.

Yup.

College degrees are useful for higher up jobs. The thing is, the higher you go, the less position available. Since everybody got a college degree to get these jobs, the market is completely saturated. That's explains why I'm working with a guy who's writing his doctoral thesis. He makes minimum salary

My stepdad made a 6 figure salary towards the end of his career by selling insurance products and RRSP's. I don't think he even finished high school.

Every one of my friends who attended and graduated college, hates their job and isn't happy.  Just saying.

I didn't even graduate high school and I've never once been asked about it by any job I applied for.  I love my job, it pays good enough for me and is getting better as the business is growing.  All I did was realize my passion in life, then I volunteered somewhere that was doing it, then they hired me.  Now I run half the business.  Maybe that's not advice so much as a story of good luck, but it happens everyday, to people even dumber than me.


And if you're not in it for the love of your work, just for the money, I have no advice.

But yeah dude, make some shitty iphone/android app like flappydicks and sell it for a dollar or some shit, just make it frustratingly unplayable and post highscores on twitter or something.

Even if you make a free app you can make decent money off ad revenue.

People don't realise that studying can work against you too - current students are seen as encumbered and not dedicated. They come with strings attached and are likely to jump ship when they get a better opportunity.

And then the issue of being overqualified. Sometimes employers will hesitate to employ someone because they are too smart for the role and they think they won't tow the line as a regular worker would.

And the thing is with post graduate study above s masters level, I.e. Doctorates and thesises, these are pretty much always done for personal interest as opposed to advancing ones career. Above a masters degree further education becomes less and less necessary.

Even a bachelors degree, once you've graduated it just becomes a tick in a box and from there it's up to your experience and skills to get opportunities. Experience really is the key. Employers want people who can demonstrate they have done it, know how to do it and are good at doing it. Not some guy who has a page full of academic acalades and no clue of how things function in the real world.

It's true. I had a prospective employer tell me during a job interview once that I stood a good chance of getting the job particularly because of my youth and inexperience. I was like "huh?".
He said the reason for that was because he kept ending up with experienced people who were so used to the way things were done at their previous jobs (same industry) and it would carry over; making them almost harder to train than it would be to simply train a greenhorn.
I didn't end up getting the job though. Failed the drug test.  :bongload:

Most definitely. I get 18-25 an hour as a "handyman". Which ranges from landscaping to maintenance. No degree yet. Good money, pick up my hours, pick my jobs. My boss even let's me smoke and drink at work. But I helped start his company too.
