It is true that majority of people believe that for them to get a high-paying job, they must absolutely and really have to go to school and education centers to earn for themselves degrees in academics on the job or career in which they want to prestigiously have. There is absolutely no need to depicts that have a degree can definitely earn you a high-paying job, but it is important that we all understand that to earn a high-paying job does not necessarily mean that you must have a degree. Majority of people are degree-less but have been able to establish for themselves high paying jobs and careers. Many people on the other hand who have gone to schools of education in order to get a degree on their preferred prestigious jobs and careers, are not still able to establish for themselves a high-paying job and most of them are basically settling for lesser jobs that gives them lesser income amount. The purpose of this thread is never or not disputing the fact that individuals should not get for themselves a degree in their preferred and dreamed prestigious jobs and career but basically the purpose of this thread is to explain that an individual does not necessarily need a degree to get a high-paying job. Futhermore, let us consider some high-paying jobs an careers and individual can get even without a degree:

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER: Many software developers are self-taught and able to gain experience through online courses, coding bootcamps, and building their own projects. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for software developers was $110,140 as of May 2021.

SALES REPRESENTATIVE: Sales representatives sell products and services to businesses and consumers. Many companies offer on-the-job training and pay commissions, which can lead to high earnings. The BLS reports that the median annual wage for sales representatives was $63,420 as of May 2020.

REAL ESTATE BROKER: Real estate brokers need to complete a pre-licensing course and pass a licensing exam, but a degree is not required. Brokers earn commissions on the properties they sell, which can lead to high earnings. The BLS reports that the median annual wage for real estate brokers and sales agents was $51,220 as of May 2022.

WEB DEVELOPER: Many web developers are self-taught and able to gain experience through online courses and building their own projects. According to the BLS, the median annual wage for web developers was $77,200 as of May 2020.

Although there is no guarantee that everyone with an academic degree will have a high income, at least they have taken the first step to fill available job vacancies.

In general, people who have higher education will be able to analyze far, and think logically and sharpen their reasoning, and after you graduate from college, look for work in government agencies or private companies. Someone who has an academic degree in computer engineering will be very profitable both for working online and offline or becoming a web developer. A digital marketer at least has a diploma in marketing. If we look more closely, we will find that the background of a writer mostly has higher education and academic degrees, and experience. And if you search for influencers on social media, most of them also have academic degrees.

It is never a guarantee that anyone with a degree can always have a high-paying job and the reason is because having a high-paying job depends on your intellectuality and mostly on your talent and gift. It is absolutely true that there are some individuals who have gone to school of education's and tertiary institution and they've definitely graduated with various degree and some jobs and careers in which they would love to prestigiously have but even with that they do not have a reasonable and comfortable amount of income source, in essence they have settled for less. In my own view and perspective for one individual to have a high-paying job simply depends on his or her intellectuality,


Majority of individuals have definitely gotten higher paying jobs also with their talents for example footballers do not need to go to school but yet with their gift of football they are able to end higher and reasonable amount of income.

Basically I understand your point and I want to definitely congratulate you for a wonderful written thread. In my own view and perspective I would consider it's to be absolutely insane and crazy for an individual to only believe that for him or her to get for him or herself a prestigious and high-paying job he or she was definitely have a good degree in the job or career he or she wants to venture into. Absolutely not and is not able cases that an individual would have to get a good and successful degree because there are various higher-paying jobs as well as prestigious rewarding jobs in which an individual does not necessarily need a degree to be part of.

Interestingly you have taken your time to mention the list of this higher-paying jobs as well as prestigious careers in which an individual does not really need a degree to efficiently do so. But the one I would love to point out is graphic designing. We live in a technological colourful world and being able to impact the right kind of colourful design to a particular kind of environment possibly a website can absolutely and you a huge amount of money, as your income on salary and that is basically what many graphic designers are earning for themselves. Basically an individual does not need to get a degree to be a graphic designer because we just the information of graphic designing and having a tutor, can efficiently help you learn graphic designing even to the stage of being an expert or Pro.
