text: are there any good career jobs you can get without a college degree? i would like to get a good career job without having to get a college degree, i wanna make somewhere around $15-20 an hour, i'm currently a part time employee at shopko (department store) for over 6 years now and i can only earn up to a certain amount to keep my dissability income, plus i'm 25 years old and i still live at home with my mother, are there any suggestions for me to get a good career job without having to go to college, i have a learning dissability and i was in special education when i was in high school.  right now i'm saving up to get myself a vehicle so i can get myself motivated for a career job. there are a number of occupations that don't require a college education.  are you willing/able to learn a trade such as mechanic, havc, refrigeration, plumber, etc? other skills that are good to develop are those involving computers.  it could be a technician or word procesing, or data entry.
