Many people worry that because they don't have a bachelor's or masters that work will be impossible for them to find. Luckily, this isn't necessarily the case. Degrees can be a strain on time, finances, and relationships. We've identified potential careers that don't require a degree.

These are the top 3 jobs for those that do not have a Bachelor's or Master's Degree:
RN (Registered Nurse)
Dental Hygienist
Computer Programmer

RN (Registered Nurse)

At first when you hear the title you become a little hesitant and think that a position in the medical field would require a minimum of 4 years of college; but you can easily obtain this position with as little as an Associate's in Science degree. With this position you will be responsible for recording patient's medical records, educating patients on their treatment, as well as operating medical equipment. The median annual salary for this position is $65,470 and the bottom ten percent still make around $45,000 annually.

Dental Hygienist

A dental hygienist is responsible for cleaning and examining the teeth before the dentist comes in and checks around as well. This position is more important than most people think, and only requires an Associate's Degree in dental hygiene. For this position you must also be licensed, but that is easy to accomplish. The median salary for this position is around $70,000 and the bottom ten percent still make around $46,000.

Computer Programmer

This may not seem interesting, but it is perfect for those that want a fairly laid back position with little education. Computer programmers usually put their knowledge towards modifying software applications and helping companies with software coding. For this position all you need to qualify is an Associate's degree in computer science. The median salary is around $74,000 and even the bottom ten percent are making around $42,000 annually.

Summary

There are, of course, other careers that operate with high pay and low education requirments. Seemingly, the more dangerous the job, the higher pay. A career in law enforcement can help you bring home the bacon and doesn't require a degree.

Technicians were apparent on the list as well. If you're willing to work with radiation then you might consider Nuclear medicine technologists, Power distributors and dispatchers, Nuclear power reactor operators, or a radiation thereapist.

Whether you have a degree or not, a universal truth will still apply - you have to put your time in. Don't expect the keys to the castle on your first day. Prove that you can handle the job, be positive, and become an expert at your job.
