Looking for a new gig, but don't have the extra funds right now to go back to college? Well, not all careers require a college degree, which is really good when it comes to student loans.
A company called SkillPointe released their first "job score report," which showcases careers requiring two years of training or less.
Then they ranked them based on current salaries, available job openings, future growth and interest among job seekers. Jobs in construction, technology, healthcare, and public service dominate the Top 25, which you'll find below:
1. Software developer
2. Systems analyst
3. Electrician
4. Police officer
5. Truck driver
6. Carpenter
7. Plumber
8. IT support specialist
9. Nurse (Pretty sure this one requires some college, at least an AA, right?)
10. Certified nursing assistant (Same thing here, some college, right?)
11. Auto mechanic
12. Teacher assistant
13. Medical assistant (What type of medical assistant doesn't require some sort of college?)
14. Industrial machinery mechanic
15. Network administrator
16. Heavy equipment operator
17. Training and development specialist
18. Paralegal and legal assistant (No college for this one too, really?)
