17 Jobs That Pay Up To $100,000+ A Year With No College Degree

Though most people think taking the college route is a smart idea, it isn't for everyone.

With the average student loan debt reaching $37,172, millennials are now thinking of going elsewhere instead of heading straight to college.

Is it a bad idea? It depends.

Some of the richest people in the world have either never been to college or decided to drop out. (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, just to name a few).Below are 17 jobs that pay up to $65,000 a year with no college degree.

1. Teach English with Gogokid

Teaching English online is a great way to make income at home, while on your own schedule.

You're also helping people learn English, which gives them the ability to talk to over 1.5 billion people around the world. That’s pretty amazing when you think about it!

2. Sell on Amazon

The first year that Jessica’s family ran their Amazon FBA business together, working less than 20 hours a week total, they made over 6 figures profit.

If you're interested in learning more about this side hustle (or full-time job), Jessica has a FREE 7-day course that tells you everything you need to get started selling on Amazon.

Jessica even created a course outlining her strategies to 6 figure success:

• Understand WHY Amazon is the perfect platform for building a business

3. Flipping Items

A flipper is someone who flips products for profit. My friend Melissa, of Flipper University, created a guide that teaches people her secrets and strategies for reaching over $100k in sales after their first year of full-time flipping.

These are a few of the things she’s flipped for profit:

• An item that they bought for $10 and flipped for $200 just 6 minutes later.
• A security tower they bought for $6,200 and flipped for $25,000 just one month later.
• A prosthetic leg that they bought for $30 at a flea market and sold for $1,000 on eBay the next day.

Students of Flea Market Flipper have said, “I want to give a quick shout out to Robert for opening my mind to selling big, bulky items on eBay. I got both a scanner and receiver for $17 and sold shortly after they were listed for $399 and $129! In the past, I would have passed on these items because I would have no clue how to ship them. Thanks again, Rob!” –Anthony F., Flea Market Flipper Student

She even created a course called Flipper University that teaches students how to become a successful flipper. Melissa says her students can expect to make $500-$2,500 per month in their first year.
