Jobs that can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in annual salary without a college diploma are attracting attention in the United States. This is because there are many high-salary jobs that can be entered only with high school graduation or corresponding academic background.
On the 20th, the U.S. economic media Business Insider cited data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and introduced 20 jobs with high median annual salary without a bachelor’s degree.
Among them, the median annual salary of 12 jobs exceeded $100,000.
The highest-paid job was an air traffic controller. They are in charge of controlling flight take-off and landing and inducing safe operation at the airport. The median annual salary is $144,580. This job can only be entered with a associate’s degree at the level of a two-year vocational college.
Commercial pilots ranked second with a median annual salary of 122,670. They only need to obtain a commercial pilot’s license to enter the market.
The reactor operator was then listed as a high-income profession with a median annual salary of $122,610. Nuclear power plants are responsible for safely operating and controlling nuclear reactors. This job can be applied only with a high school diploma or equivalent education, and requires a high degree of skill and responsibility.
In addition, elevator installation and repair workers, radiologists), power plant operators $99,670, nuclear medicine technicians $97,020, and dental hygienists $94,260 are high-salary jobs that can be entered only with a two-year associate’s degree or a high school diploma.
In addition, police officers, nuclear engineers, distribution managers, ship engineers, and operators of electrical repair companies are also paid more than $100,000 a year.
Refinery operators, criminal investigators, postal supervisors, fire inspectors, electric repairmen, and models are also classified as occupational groups that can earn high incomes without a bachelor’s degree, earning more than $80,000 a year.
“A degree is not the only key to success,” Business Insider said. “If you want to earn a lot of money without a bachelor’s degree, it’s worth considering a job based on practical skills.”
