What careers don’t require a college education but make a good living? I can only think of Welding how about you Sup Forums

Insurance?

enlisted military. preferably navy if you wanna get the most technical training.

Call girl

can confirm. am welder. grossed $85k this year. not your typical welder tho

Weldings and I actually do NDT inspection.
These things do require certificates from classrooms but its not to hard.
I made 90K year before taxes

Elevator mechanic. Always one of the top 10 blue collar jobs

My brothers inlaws are all welders. Those dude make like 100-150Ka year. They work off shore and I think they were in Spain this year.
What kind of welding do you do m8?

E-begging.

Race horse sperm collector

Truck driver. I know some that clear $100k a year.

OP here
I took Welding I’m High school but never pursuit it but I signed up cause it intrigued me, a very close friend of mine was in the class with me and he loved it to the point that he’s now pursuing it as his career which he does do for an 18 year old he has a very good starter welding job so I might look into it

Underwater offshore, journeyman and other tickets, 150/Y before Trucuck takes it..... try it

Welding is good especially if you can get into a union. I did ems/firefighting. Pretty sweet.

No offense Sup Forumsro but my uncle is a truck driver and he lives in the shittiest studio apartment ever and spends half his year on the road, no thank you.

What area do you live in bro?
Down here in Houston welders make a very good living. You just have to make sure you become proficient in every method.

Also look up Rope access. A lot of the work is donw off shore but the gulf coast refineries are starting to incorporate it into the inspection side.

Lots of blue collar jobs that require actual skill. Welders, plumbers, electricians, etc. Most people these days prefer being office drones or some shit, so if you're willing to get your hands dirty, it's not too hard to make a good living.

micro tig and laser welding medical instruments

...

it depends on company, cargo, and person. uncle on my mom's side did it for 13 years and was making 175k/year but a cousin on my dads side doing same job for 9 years was only making 65k/year
most of these jobs people post making loads of money with little to no training or education are the best case scenarios when in reality you will be making poor money unless you are super good at it, get with a great company, and most of all get lucky. yes they are way cheaper than college or tech schools but don't let that make you think you will be making on par with people who do do that as a rule of thumb

CNC machine tool operator. Year or two of tech school or apprenticeship, huge demand, make cool stuff.
We start people at 60k and have dozens making 90+

Medical marijuana

Maritime. Some serious cash in there

$185k/year
Self taught graphic designer, no college, no overhead costs besides software and computer.

What type of welder are you?
I want to get into specialist welding, titanium, magnesium etc

This is very true, shipbuilding and manual operation be making like $35hrly.

Hows your math and eye sight. If thier good. Air traffic controlers make 123k a year without a college degree. But the sick perverts will want you to pee in cups for them all the fucking time.

Do you use blender

Trucking. Top scale drivers at national carriers bring home 100k. Most drivers start out around 50k

My dad's been a driver at one company for 30 years, clears 100k, is home daily. It's all about the company. Owner operators and long haulers don't make money cos they have to cover maintenance and fuel and payments on the truck. Large LTL companies own thousands of trucks and cover the maintenance and fuel. So look at companies like XPO, ups freight, fed ex freight, Dayton. There's a lot of money to be made working for those companies

Chemical Operator at a plant. Those guys make $30+ starting out plus overtime with just a high school diploma and a little trade school.

Computer stuff, specifically content creation.

become an armed guard for a federal contractor. pay can be between 18-24/hour starting and can go up to 50/hour. all it takes is 2 licenses which can be gotten in 2 weeks

don't be a welder , I've never met one yet who isn't an asshole mainly due to the fact that it's an unskilled trade that attracts all the lowlifes and thickos.
be a sparky instead

Most of the industry is using grindr now tbh.

Janitor at hospital. 22 an hour, I only have a g.e.d.

kek tbh

Are you a Ft. Mac welder with the big truck and alcoholism?
