Do you have to get a college degree to land a high paying job? Not necessarily. Making money without a college degree is definitely possible and you may be able to earn just as much without a degree.
There are many fields that are wide open to anyone who has the ambition to pursue them. Many people who have never been to college are looking to find employment and they are proving that just because you don't have a degree doesn't mean that you are not marketable.
People without degrees can get good paying jobs that require on the job training or they can start their own businesses using the experience learned while working elsewhere or by going to a technical school.
