    The first occupation that does not require a college degre is bieng a youtuber they make millions of dollars a year and they gain more than a million suscribers a year. The secondr occupation is selling producfts online like used books electronics and clothing you earn money just by siting on a chair. The last occupation would be workingt at a restaurant like subway or jack in the box. These are jobs that many teens can think about if they don’t go to college.

    once you know how to fix a car, all your friends and neighbors will want you to fix theirs. Even if you underbid the real garages, you can still earn over $50 per hour in your own garage.. then later expand to a real facility once the customer base grows
    http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/07/25/50-jobs-over-50000-without-a-degree-part-1/

    Painter
    Once established, pay can be $25-$40 per hour depending on how wisely you bid; higher if you hire employees to work for $10-$15 to speed you up.

    College education is important, however, there are some job opportunities that pay well in which you do not need a formal college education. Although this career path is available, I believe getting a college education is more important.
