=Jobs that pay well, no degree required = **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">(CareerBuilder.com) **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> -- Conventional wisdom states that college-educated workers earn higher salaries because their jobs require more education and advanced skills. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15pt;">In addition, fewer workers have college degrees, so they are harder to find in relation to workers without degrees. Indeed, according to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data, 19% of Americans hold a bachelor's degree, while approximately 31% have a high school diploma. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15pt;">Census data also shows that the mean income for a college graduate is $58,613, a significant difference from the $31,283 mean income for a high school graduate. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15pt;">You might reason, then, that to bring home a sizeable paycheck, you need to go to college. Although that's often true, there are exceptions. Many jobs pay workers well because their daily tasks are dangerous, difficult or extremely specialized. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15pt;">Experience also factors into the equation, because many employers value years of experience more than years of education. These jobs that don't require a degree aren't necessarily easy to perform nor they easy to land. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15pt;">That's not to say you shouldn't earn a college or graduate degree if you want. However, if college isn't the right option for you or if it's not a plausible option in the short term, consider these 15 professions that don't require a college degree but pay well: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15pt;">CareerBuilder.com: An entire career at one company **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">1.
