Question about jobs that do not need a degree?
Hello :) I'm currently 16 and Had to get my GED due to family issues. And since my family is fairly poor I was wondering if you could suggest any career options that I could look into that has good pay (enough to maybe support a family) and does not require a lot of college. I believe I could, at the most get my associate degree. I am a very logical person that has very good people skills. I am a very hard & diligent worker, I am not hotheaded, or impatient. I am very understanding, a good listener. I truly enjoy talking to people and helping people. But I really do not have the stomach for a nursing, dentistry or nursing home career. I already know about grants and things of that nature; but to be blunt I cannot juggle a job and four years of college, and on top of that make sure my brothers and sisters are taken care of. I may be being very picky at this point but I understand that most jobs you have to work your way up, and that is a very good route to take. But understand I just want to get hired, start working and get my paycheck. I do not want to work years on end at a company just for a chance to get a supervisor or manager position that I wanted in the first place that I may not even get. I truly am sorry if I am just being ridiculous but if you know of any jobs that come close to that I'll be truly grateful. Also, I have already looked into the dental hygienist field and also nursing, I know this is just ridiculous but I honestly do not have the stomach for those type of jobs. My apologies for making this harder. Thank you so, so much. have an amazing day.
P.S. I have no idea if any of you were going to suggest this but I have already taken career quizzes. They really didn't do me any good to be honest.

Best thing to do is find a job doing just about anything. But whatever you do, do your very best. Always go above and beyond. Keep your integrity at all times. This will set you apart from most other employees & you will get promoted & get extra responsibilities.
As you work & grow in whatever company you are working for you will find what you enjoy doing. There's no rush to go to college right away. Many college students go to school part time while working full time. Keep out of debt & work your way through it.

I was driving a truck ,and I didn't like it so I quit and opened my own pizza store . No need for any degree just believing in myself .I am not saying you should open a pizza store,but you can do whatever you like if you firmly decide to do it .
