High Pay Minimal Schooling 10 Jobs To Check Out
Okay after getting that last post off my chest it’s time to share something worthwhile and perhaps life changing for those currently unemployed or looking for a better paying job.
Not that long ago Yahoo! Finance ran an article I believe will help many in these desperate times. It’s title is 10 Jobs With High Pay and Minimal Schooling Required.
I’m just going to list the careers they mention, and refer you (above) to fluff out the facts for yourself.
These jobs include:
1. Air Traffic Controllers ($117,200)
2. Industrial Product Managers ($77.670)
3. Police and Detective (First Line) Supervisors ($69,300)
4. Funeral Directors ($49,620)
5. Sheriff/Police Patrol Officers ($47,460)
6. Advertising Agents (Sales) ($42,750)
7. Real Estate Brokers & Sales Agents ($39,760)
8. Occupational Therapist Assistants ($42,060)
9. Occupational Therapist Aids ($25,000)
10. Physical Therapist Assistants ($41,360)
Keep in mind the title of this post includes the words “Minimal Schooling.” It’s not that education is not involved, but it doesn’t take a doctorate to pull down some decent money. Many of these listed above can be found through your local community college program.
Also keep in mind that Financial Aid (FAFSA) is available, and in some cases, if you enroll early enough the Pell Grant just may pay for your entire education… for free!

The #1 job is just tooo stressful but I guess the pay is worth it! Thanks for the tips!

Interesting numbers, Theresa. Makes you want to run out and become an Air Traffic Controller!
I’m sure the money’s not worth the stress on that one.

Notice how most of the listed jobs are working for the government.
And the taxpayers thought government worked for them!

Thanks for stopping by Bill! While SOME of the jobs are government jobs, some aren’t (funeral director??). I think the article was just to help people think outside the box. Many, many are desperate!

Hi Brad! Yep, nerves of steel for that job! Imagine being able to even last 20 years. I’d be a nervous wreck before I even sat down in the chair. Such a huge responsibility. However, maybe it will get people thinking outside what they typically think of as a job – and maybe on their way to a great career that is more resilient for these tough times.

Ah come on Linda! Chicken LOL! Just kidding of course. I agree with you 100%!

I agree, air traffic controller is still not worth it. They have to pay that money for a reason.

Oh my – it makes me VERY nervous that becoming air traffic controler requires minimal schooling.

I didn’t check out exactly what not alot of schooling was for each- but wouldn’t the air traffic control job need pretty much training? That one surprised me a bit-

A great list! I hope it helps people zero in on their search.

A lot of dispatch types jobs involve minimal forma education. But that doesn’t mean they arenlt skilled positions. Not many people get accepted and fewer qualify.
