The 10 highest paid jobs that don't require a degree

There's a lot of pressure put on students to go to college, we know that because we went through it.

You spend about 18 years being asked what you'd like to do, and when you finally decide, you're forced to sit through exams to determine whether you're allowed to pursue it or not. Unfortunately, a lot of the time you do't get what you want from the CAO, or else you just might not think college is for you.
