well you can prolly self train yourself to be a programmer, but since you cant motivate yourself to goto college, you cant do that either.

 id say electrciian, but good luck finding an apprenticeship. its tough to get into but pays well.

 manual labor is your best bet.

Get a job waiting at a restaurant. Seriously. You don't need a degree, and you'd be absolutely shocked how many of the waiters actually DO have degrees.

 

My point being, if it's good enough for the people who have degrees but are not able to do anything with those degrees, then it's good enough for you.

there's a ton of good jobs that don't require a college education, but most require specialized training of some sort, or are high risk.

you still have to go to a technical college (or whatever you want to call it) to become an electrician. For my answer Id say underground coal miner, thats if you like the money, but a fun job though.

You'd be surprised, they usually require you to have a degree in media or at least a diploma in media or film production.

no, i would not be surprised. i am still in filmschool and i am already getting jobs in the film industry. most of the people that i know, who have already graduated and are successful, don't even bother saying that they went to filmschool in their resumes. it's all about what you've worked on and who you've worked with.

garbage man, here are reasons why

1. union = good benefits = pension

2. surprisingly good pay high end = 80 grand a year in NYC low end 35 grand a year in some town in florida

3. free stuff!!
