50 jobs over $50,000 without a college degree

In this post from Mr. Moneymustache he talked about how many people do go to college and get a degree, but they can't find a well paying job in their job field. These people are unable to get out of their debt that they spent on their college education, because the field they went into does not pay enough. He provided several jobs that most people don't think pay well, but actually do. They also don't require a college degree! He also suggested to start your own business because the wage differential is about 300%! Some of the jobs he listed were plumber, mechanic,electrician, and welder. Some of the more interesting ones were blogger, techno music composer, and youtube channel owner!

I was not very surprised about the jobs like electrician and welder because my step dad actually is an electrician and i knew someone who was going into welding. A lot of the other jobs were also "hard labor" like house builder and tile setter. The ones like youtube channel owner and blogger were a little more surprising. I don't really think that this idea is that practical. My step dad went to a two year college to be an electrician and the welder I knew went to a high school that offered training in that area. Many of the jobs he listed do require some specialized training, special skills, or some type of education. So, the "without a college degree" is not entirely truthful. A lot of them also had to do with luck. To make millions off a youtube video is not very likely and would require something very special to make money. In order to be a successful blogger or writer you have to be very interesting, knowledgable, or know a lot of people. Not just anyone can do that and be successful. I definitely think that these ideas could work for some people. Maybe if they are naturally gifted and very driven. That article just isn't realistic for many people.

It had a few of the same jobs listed on the blog. They listed more realistic jobs on this site, though that would be easier to obtain rather than suggesting that people make big bucks off of being a blogger or owning a youtube channel.
