Trade Schools and Apprenticeships
While most well-paying jobs require some sort of after-high-school training, you don't have to attend a two- or four-year college to get a good job. Trade schools and apprenticeships are a great place to start for jobs like electrician, plumber, carpenter, welder, machinist, and jobs in construction.
