Here's a great list compiled over at citytowninfo that details 745 "best" jobs that pay well, yet require no or limited college degree. From the site: If you're loaded up with MBAs and engineering degrees, it's pretty easy to get a good job. But most people aren't in that category. So we've come up with a list of good careers for the rest of us. The list below weighs hundreds of careers, looking for those which combine decent salary, a good job growth rate, and a relatively low requirement for a college degree (what we called here "degree not required"). http://www.citytowninfo.com/studies/best-careers-degree-not-required.html
