I’ve found an interesting list of high-paying jobs that don’t require a college degree. (hat tip: Jim Stroud)

And while it’s great that you don’t need a college degree for most of these positions, there’s something even better.

Most of these jobs are ideal for people looking to change careers.

That doesn’t mean that all you have to do is show up and say, “I’m ready to be an Air Traffic Controller! Which of those radar things is mine?”

Many of them require some specialized training. But what most of them don’t require is a lifetime in that particular career field.

For instance, you can go to a school for Air Traffic Controllers and be ready to go in 18 months. It seems like a long time, but this is a field that is desperate for workers and pays its “entry level” people decent salaries.

So, what will the smart people do who are looking to change careers? That’s right - they will work their sucky jobs that they can’t wait to get rid of during the day and train at night.

Just remember: we live in a very mobile society and there is opportunity around the corner for anyone willing to pursue it.
