Answer 1

Without a college degree, you will not be making the big bucks!

I mean, its possible but your chance's are low.

You can work at:

Walmart-Target-Kmart ect.

Any resturant like Applebee's,TGI friday's,Mcdonalds. ect.

You need a college degree to live comfortablly unless your one of the few people who make a lot of money and dont have a college degree.

There are a few places. Dont despair. Your not limited to working minium wage. There are plenty of blue collar jobs that pay well, such as factory work and clerical. For instance I work at a telephone company and make far above minimum wage. There are a lot of places that will hire without a degreeas well. Look under you local paper and just apply. Many utility companies are union jobs and provide training. You could work as say an installer or customer service. If your not into working for others you can always go into business for yourself

You can anywhere in business if you are in USA. That is the beauty of this country.

Don't give up, maybe you can go to a Jr. College while working, your question is kinda vague. What do you like to do? Temp. agencies, government offices (City/ State) jobs, retail, Clerical?

It is possible to make decent living without a college degree, BUT you will need to be a self-motivator and work harder than someone who has that piece of paper.

The beauty of living in the U.S., are the opportunities who knows you may decide you want more and go back to school that is your right. You may take a job now, and decide that it isn't what you want to do with your life. Remember the things you learn in your jobs are skills, the more skills you have the more valuable an employee you are. Then again, maybe you want to be your own boss the possibilities are endless, it just depends how badly you want it. What are you willing to sacrifice to get it?

I love art also, you could work in a gallery, or go to an Art school to become an interior designer, fashion designer?

I choose this route, I decided to get a job and do my passions on the side. Since, my passions weren't going to pay the bills (I wasn't going to wait for a dream to happen). I decided to take control of my life. I take classes once in awhile, and I'm not rich but make a decent living and I'm able to support myself. It's all I need, people are different we don't all have to fit the mold.
