The 20 Highest-Paying Jobs That Don't Require A College Degree

It turns out you don't need a college degree to pull in a pretty penny.

Yes, workers with only a high school diploma do face an unemployment rate nearly twice that of college educated workers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and they make almost half of what those with a bachelor's degree earn, on average. But a new report from CareerBuilder finds that despite this disparity, workers without a college education do have plenty of options for lucrative careers.

CareerBuilder says there are currently 115 occupations in the U.S. that only require a high school diploma and pay $20 an hour or more, on average.
