12 High Paying Jobs No Degree Required

FTC: This post is not sponsored and I am not a financial advisor. All thoughts and weird opinions are my own. 

This post I hold near and dear to my heart. In fact, I was super excited to write it from start to finish (even though the research process). Why? Because after paying over 100,000 dollars in student loans for two degrees I only borrowed about 60,000 dollars to obtain, I'm very weary of blindly promoting higher education as the only way to make large sums of money.

Statistically people without a degree earn 37,000 dollars in comparison to people with a Bachelor's degree who earn on average 72,000. Enter these 12 high paying jobs no degree required and we have a nice conversation brewing. You see, that stat may in fact be real, but as the tides turn especially in 2020 things just aren't the same. With a rise in technology, and remote work, more and more opportunities are being presented for high paying jobs without a degree.
