The job market is faltering. Wages aren’t keeping pace with inflation. Many Americans question the value of a college degree.
But America is still awash in good-paying jobs, and not all of them require a college diploma.
In a new report, the jobseeker site Resume Genius surveys the best of the “new-collar jobs”: 10 fields that offer high salaries and don’t always require a four-year degree.
And what is a new-collar job? Resume Genius defines it as a profession that stresses work experience and non-traditional educational paths, including academic certificates and online training.
The U.S. Department of Labor lists a bachelor’s degree as a requirement for most or all of these 10 positions. Resume Genius contends, however, that it’s often possible to work around that prerequisite with certifications or in-the-field training.
