These Top 50 Highest Paying Jobs in Abilene Don’t Require a Degree
Yes, I'll admit it, I'm a grandpa. One of my grandchildren just graduated from college. While I'm a very proud grandpa and would love to share photos and stories of my grandchildren, I'll save that for another time. The reason for this article is a conversation that came up about whether a person can find a job without a degree nowadays.
The obvious answer is yes, there are a lot of jobs you can land without a degree. If you want a higher-paying job, most require degrees. However, I recently ran across some interesting information from Stacker Media about the "average statistical numbers on Abilene jobs that do not require a degree." While many of these jobs may not require a college degree per se, some do require special licenses or training that you may have to attend a specialty school for.
