The medical industry holds a rich vein of different careers from the obvious nurse and doctor careers to adminstrative careers. My sister wanted to work in this field, but she wasn't certain exactly what she wanted to do. She discovered the resource in the resource box below, it has lots of guidance, and it guided her to settle what she wanted to do. They have help with other jobs too.

Hey there

My name is Mark Forte and if your looking for a career that requires a minimum of schooling then I recommend online marketing.FYI I'm actually an affiliate marketer who makes a healthy living online without any help. Although I have an BBA in digital media I have always wanted to make a healthy living from home with as little effort as possible. The only catch was it took me a long time to understand the full scope of how this industry worked. Lucky I had some help from a proven company called prosperity marketing. Their actually an affiliate company that help newbies make a smart decisions when it comes to online marketing and traffic generation. All this actually sounds more complicated than what actually is... So my first recommendation is test it out for yourself. Actually they can provide you with a free tour of their whole system before you even get started so you can have an idea of what your getting into. If you want their are classes in college that can familiarize people who have no clue what marketing online entails. Its gets alot easier when you understand how it works. And to help I will provide a link here http://www.prosperity-marketing.sales-explosion.net/how_to_make_money_online.html If you have to just copy and paste this web address/url in the browser that you are using. Can be internet explorer or firefox doesn't matter. If you have any more questions please free to contact me at http://www.sales-explosion.net/machform/embed.php?id=3 good question hope this helps

The only things I can think of that can make you good money with little schooling are just that - trades. Plumber, tile-cutter, general construction worker. No real schooling is involved - the 'schooling' comes from experience. Once you have mastered a trade, you can charge bank for it. But at first, when you are just gaining experience, don't expect to get paid all that much - at that point, you are an apprentice or a journeyman, not a master.

Another possibility is grocery store jobs. (I did those for decades in my life. I eventually wound up in a major chain grocery store. Union job. Paid holidays. Medical/dental/vision benefits. High pay.) No schooling whatsoever involved. All you need is a willingness to perform great customer service each and every day and also have the ability to be trained on how to use equipment properly, be it cash registers, meat slicers, whatever.

Those days were actually some of the best years of my life. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder ten years ago and I simply couldn't do that kind of work any longer. (I can barely walk now - so carrying even a box is essentially impossible for me to do. Which sucks. And don't even mention stairs - I HATE stairs). But luckily, I did have schooling to fall back on. I do bookkeeping for small businesses now (for $50 per hour). It's not like I work 40 hours a week though, but I make enough to have a comfortable life.

Good luck with what you do and best wishes from Seattle :-)
