what is a good profession you can do without a college degree?

well? i'd like to hear ideas.

 

Gambler.

 

It depends what you define as a good profession I guess.
Something you like doing or something you make money from?

Janitor or manager at mickie d's.

 

...eliminating internetz jobs and other stuff like that (athletics, etc)

Welders and painters make relatively good money for the shit job they do.
Construction doesn't pay that bad, even though you do get fucked up.
Lots of assistant corporate jobs.
Working at Walmart pays GREAT after you stay there for 20 years.
Security tends to pay well-ish if you work for the right person/company.

I'm doing Stenotyping, it's shorthand with a special machine. It's what Court Reporters and Closed Captioners use. I'm probably going to be doing the latter. You have to go to school for it (online is an option) and it takes an average of 2-3 years depending on your language and analytical skills. There's a huge demand for the profession so you're guranteed a job once you get done and there's a lot of freedom in terms of being able to work where you want and set your own hours if you're good.

I got my A.A. and decided not to go to school for nutrition yet so this is what I found. You have to buy your equipment eventually and the professional machines can run up to like $4,000 - 5,000. The schools are like 95% girls as well, not a bad incentive. It can get taxing trying to juggle them all though, you constantly run into one you know and everyone sees you talking to the others and feelings get hurt ...

 

"Writer" is not a job these days.

It's a hobby.

 

i would, too. but, i'm really fucking up in school and really hate it to be honest. i want a degree to get a decent job, but i just don't know that i can hack it. i prefer a work schedule to a school schedule by a long shot. i'm kind of thinking of not going this year. college, for me, is turning out to be far more difficult than highschool. in highschool as long as i was smart enough to pass tests i could get by. not in college.

it's not a matter of intelligence, but i just do really poorly in school for other reasons, and i'm just sort of a little bit unbelievably stressed right now

it's kind of embarassing, but i think i might drop out. i was thinking of working some shit job somewhere until i can get out of debt and get a car and my own place, then go to bartending school. bar tenders can make some decent money if they work at a nice place.

but i just don't know.

i feel extremely lost in all this.
