You could always go for making your own website. You just have to have a good business plan, or at least people that work for you that do. At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

Gamespot Employee.

Yeah, I went there.

Tiefster

that is true, but you can apply for union membership and they have to find you a job, but with college comes more opportunities

Spend $300 on an old seized up engine, buy a $20 book on building engines, build said engine. Then you can become a mechanic.

You mean don't actually need it or don't require it? Outside of being a doctor, you could learn more about most jobs from 6 months of on the job training than a 4 year Bachelor's degree will teach you.Senor_Kami

Yea, maybe you can learn a lot about that particular job at that particular place in 6 months, but going to college with a major for 4 years will teach you industry standards and procedures as well as laws that must be followed in addition to teaching you how to do the job.

Job training will really just be one or more people telling you how they want something done at that organization.

You're better off approaching it from the other side: what careers require college education?

Doctor, Lawyer, Architect, Engineer, Teacher...

...you don't need college to be a businessman, but it helps.

I know people with English Degrees that went into Marketing.InterpolWilco

Well that's because there isn't a professional career in English. An English degree has to be applied to something else like teaching, writing, etc.

A liberal arts college education is completely different from a technical college education like engineering, business, or architecture.

Well I'm going to be starting work on my MBA soon and as helpful as internships are don't try to tell people that going to class isn't important. I learn something every class I go to, more if the teacher is good at his job.

Air Traffic Controller [$7k/month avg sal]- but you need to be really good.
