Is it possible to get into a stable career or get a decent paying job without college education? anyone know anyone like that or was able to do that?

[Anonymous]

Or is it just the cold brutal harsh truth of the world that it's very extremely difficult to get into a stable career or just a job that provides a salary that is enough to live on without any type of college education or any type of certification from an institution or college or School anything like that?

Or did anyone hear or was anyone here able to get into a decent career or profession without any education?

Just asking because I'm considering career change

Absolutely!! You do need training and education but it DOES NOT need be any countries universities, community colleges or government criteria to be usable. A very successful and effective American business empire said “ not long ago “ the smart ones are those who quit college and just bought the text books!! there are only a few small professions in America that REQUIRE formal college enrollment and degrees to be tested. You absolutely can take the bar association without law school! You can become a paramedic, paralegal, software developer/coder, teacher, and TONS of other professions without formal schooling. But you still need training!!

You could get into one of the trades. I know several people who are carpenters, plumbers and electricians. Sometimes it can be hard work but it pays well.

I did business training at night while I worked during the day. 2 years later, I was in a high-paying job and that only tripled when I moved away from the USA.

It is indeed possible to get into a stable career or secure a decent-paying job without a college education, though it can be challenging. Many people find success through trades, entrepreneurship, or by gaining skills through apprenticeships or self-study. For instance, careers in fields like IT, where certifications such as CompTIA or Cisco are beneficial, can lead to good-paying jobs without a degree. Additionally, skills in areas like digital marketing or the arts can be honed online. The key is to focus on gaining relevant skills and experience. It’s essential to weigh your interests and the current job market trends.

Yeah it's just a historically the media and culture and Society try to psychologically drill it into our minds and heads that a college degree automatically means that you'll be set for life or you will struggle to make a decent living without college education

In the US, you *need* at least a 4 year college degree to get a decent job, unless you like and can tolerate blue-collar work. Getting a college degree will result is about 1 million $ more in lifetime earnings for you. It is worth it.

Yes. There was a point in time when college guaranteed a well paying job.

In today's world college is overrated and people can make very good money with a trade or using the online business to build and make money there.
