Study: Americans Surprised These High-paying Jobs Don’t Require a College Degree

With the debate about the importance of college degrees coming to a head as student loan repayments are set to restart, JobSage sought to find out which “no degree required” jobs are the most interesting to Americans, have the best projected growth rates through 2031, and what American attitudes towards degrees are now post-pandemic.

Here’s what they found:

• 69% of people believe college degrees will be less important for getting well-paying jobs in coming years

• 72% would skip college if their ideal job didn’t require it.

• 51% of Americans report overlooking good career paths that didn’t require degrees when starting their careers

• Private detectives are considered the “most interesting no-degree job” by Americans

Take a read through the study.
