That requires little money to start. A business that is not subject to many government regulations. Does not require many special permits or licenses to operate. A business that can be quickly and easily shut down if needed. And a business that has limted contractual liability after its shut down. Requires not a very great deal of knowledge or experience to start or operate. I like the idea of going into a business that has limited liability. That requires little money to start.

Most persons go about this the wrong way instead of going to college and specializing in some king of tech field or something else and than go out and get a decent job in their field of expertise that pays far more than wallgreens for example you do not have to have a four year degree to get a really good job that is if you go into the right field. Than use the generous benifits package that the company offers and this most likly includes paying for part of your continuing education. Also never count out wallgreens or kmart or really any large company because they may have a job in the field you are in even wallgreens has personal involved in web design or computer science.. Also if you start working in the speciality field before you leave college you will be in the sweet spot compared to your counter parts that are not.

Question: What College degree did Mr. Edison have and so one could go listing many others. In fact, the greatest Industrial Revolution ever, was accomplished by mostly folk who had no higher education, if my information is correct. America is wasting billions to actually dumbing down many a young person, the more money is poured into public education, and again, if my information is correct. By the way, how much money, if any, did the Federal Government/taxpayer spend in education to ignite so to speak, the Industrial Revolution? I would guess, that most of the ones who created the industrial revolution, were educated either at home or in private schools, of the choise of fathers and mothers! Some historian should be asked to give out this information. I am sure that is is available somewhere! Yes, the writer is absultely right!

People slow down in buying new houses and building new houses and that is when they fix up or remodel what they already have. Property owners who rent their houses and apartments etc also fall into this category of fixing up and remodeling in hard times. Someone with no college at all can work up to manager within two years and be making over $160K + great benefits. I did!

As a friend's plumber boss put it though, people aren't too concerned with the size of the bill when their plumbing is going in reverse.

Why should they lie and say everybody in these positions make good money? My cousin went to school to become a plumber and found that he could nowhere with any jobs. He decided to become a respiratory therapist with a Bachelors degree. Unfortunately, finding respiratory therapy jobs takes a long time and the pay is not always very good.. If you go for a six figure job ad you may be rejected no matter what degree you have. Lets not forget that the economy may affect these careers negatively even after wasting time doing the training or college time. Medical is the only reasonable job selection to choose from during a recession because the economy does not affect most jobs, only healthcare can affect certain jobs, like a doctor or surgeon. The economy will not affect any medical career because they have nothing to do with the economy, people die everyday, people get sick everyday... Whoever made the claim that the title misleads like living in a delusional world where lying seems to make them feel better. Encouraging dishonesty would leave many people disappointed when choosing a career off this list because alot of these jobs are not good jobs to choose during a recession.

Perhaps the title should be "Six Figure Income Jobs Without Having a 4-Year Degree." I used to think about doing court reporting. I probably should have done it. I am the one to take minutes everywhere I go!!! Now everything is being captioned so there's a lot of work. You CAN NOT become a court reporter without training. You can't do a lot of those jobs without training. I was glad to see my favorites court reporting & fashion design!!!! Ahhhhhh, if I had my life to live over. You don't need to go to a 4 year college & take fashion merchandising & speech. I guess this gives those of us who didn't get the Bachelor's hope, huh? The article is a bit misleading.
