What's a career that you don't need to study for years to get into?

Dave does pretty well in sales with little education, so..props to that one.
-Truck drivers need an education and the ones who haul hazardous materials need a lot more :]
CS...I have no idea
-What is "union type work?" People who practice trade skill jobs like plumbers and electricians need an education too :/


I realize there are careers you can get into without an education, they just aren't great ones....not to make further fuel the "I WANT A JOB THAT MAKES ME HAPPY AND NOT NECESSARILY MONEY" debate.

sales is easy as fuck. But it's not something you can make a career out of unless you do it on a much much larger scale than I am doing it [/captain obvious]

Sales is easy if you have the right personality. Otherwise, it's a really shitty thing to do your entire life (unless you're selling something you're passionate about).

Truck drivers don't need 4 years of schooling though. That was my point. Same with the union type jobs (plumbing, electricians, etc).

If you want to do something that makes you happy, you have to look at your interests and shit you enjoy doing in your spare time I guess. i really enjoyed learning Finance when I took it. However, I'd enjoy running a rock/metal bar or running my own record shop.

Yes but it's (obviously) extremely demanding/dangerous.

I'm gonna do this if I ever get successful enough where I can do it and not have it screw me if it goes under. It would be like Vintage Vinyl but the whole store being metal/classic and prog rock. There would be a fuckload of merch to.

Well, the store I would run would be about 60% metal and related merchandise. The other 40% would be rock/pop/whatever so I could at least make SOME money from running it. I don't think it would be profitable here in Cincinnati if it was 90% metal and related merchandise. It might be different in other parts of the country though.

I would have a shit ton of used music too.

And the test is about as hard to pass as the bar exam.

I know a guy who had to take it twice to pass it.
