I thought maybe a docter and crap but I don't wanna goto school for ten years, what can i do for good money with low education high school deploma? -- Posted by t5sgurl at 1:19 am on Sep. 2, 2004 hmm being a doctor will rock! that's waht im planning to do lol are u planning to study after high school? cuz all you mentioned was getting a good job with a high school diploma... um how about becoming an accountant? it's boring, but easy, and you can work your way up im not sure what else there could be though.. -- Posted by Tinplate27 at 2:36 am on Sep. 2, 2004 computerTec, is good cash and its fun!! -- Posted by lynette at 6:23 pm on Sep. 2, 2004 it's rare to find good jobs with just a high school education.  computer jobs are still there for 30-40K, but over the past few years MANY have been moved overseas.   if you want to make real money, the best suggestion i can give you is to get as much education as you can.  (if you are only going to be a doctor for the money, DONT.  it is NOT worth it.  i am in medical school. i know.... way too much time/debt/effort/emotional trauma/time away from family/etc to do it just for the money) with no education..... lottery tickets, actor/actress, .... create your own business (risky but could be profitable) -- Posted by FleeingPurgatory at 4:31 pm on Sep. 4, 2004 Construction: $10-40 an hour (depending on location). Go for it. You'll for 40-60 hour weeks, rain or shine, you'll come home aching tired (don't worry, you can take up drinking to ease the pain, works for a lot of people) work your ass off for many years slowly killing yourself and destroying your body, only to never really make it any where in the world. As you enter into your mid-life you'll be physically drained (maybe to much to work, but hey disability pays well right?), emotionally fed up with working all the time and never getting past what you started with at 20, and possibly and alcoholic Convenience store clerk: $7-15 an hour (depending on location). Great hours, all night even! Discounted cigarettes. Seldom get robbed, and may not ever get shot! Low end cook: $6-13 an hour (depending on location) Get to take home everything that falls on the floor! Cook exotic dishes like: French fries, french toast, and more! Stylish netted head wear! All these and more! Get you education. (Please no one take offence to this if they have any of the aforementioned, there are always exceptions.)

That could probably land you a decent paying job.  Maybe take the Civil Service Test and apply for a government job.  All you need is a HS Diploma, and a good score on the test to get the job. -- Posted by Confused87 at 8:06 pm on Sep. 25, 2005 Do something that you will enjoy doing. I'm sure you don't want to go to a workplace to do something you hate everyday. -- Posted by Flow Morphia Slow at 6:13 pm on Oct. 31, 2005 The best thing to do is think about what you enjoy doing and think of the best way to make money out of that -like someone else said -do a 2 year course in business / computing. I hear there's good money in computing. -- Posted by lilkatiekat at 2:14 am on Nov. 22, 2005 Bein a doctor is a really great choice but it does take a while to get into and it's really hard coz ppls lives are in your hands -- Posted by obvious child at 11:29 pm on Dec. 4, 2005 male RN. Nurses are being extremely well fresh out of college. Some hospitals are even paying $40,000 with moving expenses! Outrageous for just 3 years of nursing school, plus it can't be outsourced and the demand is increasing as more and more baby boomers need medical assistance. That is one of the primary fields of job growth in the next decade. -- Posted by luckycharm at 1:09 am on Dec. 5, 2005 Quote: from D4VID at 12:43 am on Sep. 2, 2004 I havn't deicded what i should be when i grow up...

Everything needs a degree these days if you want to get anywhere in life. Unless, of course, you're in the right place at the right time, win the lotto, rob a bank, or invent something. -- Posted by Islalinda at 9:52 am on Dec. 7, 2005 I'm taking Baking & Pastry arts,and I love it. I get to be creative and make unique desserts. Plus if you choose to go into catering or cake decorating the money is awesome   -- Posted by Rgheedig at 12:35 am on Nov. 28, 2006 I agree.
