Despite what society may tell you, plenty of great jobs&nbsp;don't require a college degree. If you are starting out in your career,&nbsp;looking for the right career path, and considering skipping college and just jumping in to the work force, you might be on the right track. According to the the U.S. Department of Labor, 2 out of every 3 jobs only require on-the-job training. Taking into account the debt that you may acquire after paying for college tuition and the four years of your life that you will be delaying gainful employment, it may be a good idea to bypass college and work on landing one of these highest paying jobs without a degree.&nbsp;If you are more established in your career and are looking for a change and want a top paying job, but never earned your Bachelor's Degree, you can use this list a resource to discover the great, fun, high paying jobs that only require experience and specialty training. Some of the best jobs in America don't require a BA or a BS.The high paying jobs on this list are not necessarily easy--most of them still require specialty skills, but if you are smart and start at the bottom and work your way up you can land a great job without going to college. Consider this: if you start working right after you finish High School, you will already have four years of work experience under your belt by the time your peers graduate college. If you get focused early and decide what career path will land you one of these top paying jobs, you can get ahead and avoid debt.*Salary information for this list is based on figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2013

A list of some of the most memorable ways employees have ever quit their jobs. Have you ever spent a bad day at work fantasizing of all the clever, confrontational, and classic ways to say &quot;take this job and shove it?&quot; Have you ever daydreamed about the look on your boss&rsquo;s face if only you could deliver the quitting speech of your dreams? Well get ready to live vicariously through a group of folks who actually did what most disgruntled workers only dream of.

Whether they spelled it out in an incendiary public announcement or hired a full band to accompany their speech, each of these employees reached their breaking point and embraced it. We&rsquo;ve got resignation letters written on cakes, farewells built into <a href="http://www.ranker.com/lists/video-games?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag" target="_blank">video games</a>, and even musical performances by folks who said farewell with flair. Not every ex-employee you&rsquo;ll see here was so polite however.

You may even be looking for your own ideas on <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/how-to?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag" target="_blank">how to</a> quit your job. You won&rsquo;t be disappointed as you witness some of the best resignations ever carried out by workers who&#39;ve had enough. The vast majority of these are probably bad ideas in practice, but they&#39;re great ideas in theory, so vote for the most outrageous mic-dropping employment exit.

Funny

If you&#39;re getting down in the dumps <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-and-_39_s-the-worst-thing-about-your-job-/desertrat89?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">about your job</a>, look at the silver lining:&nbsp;At least you don&#39;t have one of these career paths. If, by chance, you do, it definitely sucks to be you.&nbsp;The most dismal jobs require intense physical labor and harsh, gross, and embarrassing conditions. These are truly some of the worst jobs in America, and probably in the entire world.

Think you&#39;ve got the world&#39;s worst job? It could be worse. You could be giving an elephant a&nbsp;probe, cleansing diseased feet, or diving into sewage.&nbsp;These jobs are horrible, disgusting, tedious, foul, and give Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs a run for his money.&nbsp;Would you want to do one of them? Getting familiar with these really bad jobs will ensure you&#39;ll never say you hate Mondays again.

Who has the most terrible job imaginable? Well, these jobs totally suck.&nbsp;Take a moment to peruse this list of horrible, cringe-worthy occupations and vote on which are the very worst jobs to have&nbsp;ever.

A list of the most common jobs in America. These are the most popular careers within the United States. If you're looking for a job, this is where you will find the most peers. Note that this list does not in any way rank &quot;job competition&quot; as it does not take into account the number of jobs available. Nonetheless, it is interesting to see where the bulk of the American workforce lies, and which fields have the most employed workers. With unemployment always an issue for at least some of us in the country, it's useful to see what fields seem to be the most populated. Hopefully this list will be helpful for anyone who's on the job hunt.What are the most common jobs in American? What are some typical professions in the US? These are some of the most popular jobs in the US, compiled in one <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jobs-that-no-longer-exist/coy-jandreau?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">list of jobs</a> many Americans have.On December 5th, 2016, Amazon revealed they will be launching a new grocery store called Amazon Go that will eliminate the need for cashiers. Given that cashiers are the second most common job in America, what does that mean for the future of that profession? &nbsp;

Finding the perfect job is never easy because both employers and employees often&nbsp;embellish how great they are. People tend to exaggerate their qualifications on their resume, while companies oversell how great it is to work for them. These are bright, shining examples of brutally honest job descriptions, and boy are they refreshing. The reality is most jobs suck.&nbsp;So if employers would simply start explaining in a funny way how much their particular job sucks, everyone would be much happier. Enjoy this photo gallery of weird job descriptions, and don't forget to vote up your favorites!

A list of the highest paying jobs in America. These are the most lucrative careers in the United States. If you're looking for a job, these careers are where you'll make the most money. Note that this list deals with *average* salaries, so you won't necessarily make what is shown on this list (although you could also earn more). Either way, it's interesting to see where the money is within our American work force. With unemployment always an issue for at least some of us in the country, it's useful to see what fields will pay the most bills. Hopefully this list will be helpful for anyone who's on the job hunt.  Source: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ocwage.htm

As you&#39;ll see from the photos below, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/misunderstood-celebrity-scandals/donn-saylor?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">pretty much everyone</a> thinks job interviews stink. They stink&nbsp;for the person conducting the interview, and they really stink&nbsp;for the person interviewing. The interviewee lies much as possible to seem qualified for the job, while the interviewer asks&nbsp;a series of questions that they don&#39;t even have the answers to.&nbsp;It&#39;s a grueling process, and yet, nobody has come up with a better way to go about hiring people. If you&#39;re currently in the midst of looking for a job, hopefully&nbsp;these funny job interview memes will help cheer you up. If you have a job, please let these pictures&nbsp;serve as a friendly reminder to be nice to the people looking for a job. Seriously, they&#39;re extremely fragile right now.

Lifestyle

If you haven’t heard, millennials are broke. And the only 20 and early 30-somethings who are actually keeping their heads above water are doing so because they’ve figured out the best side hustles for making a nominal amount of cash. Side hustles, or an extra <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-jobs-in-the-world">job</a> for all you grandpas out there, are how millennials make money – because they definitely can’t afford rent, bills, and a weekly brunch on whatever salary their normal job provides. The economy is always in flux, but the 2008 housing crisis forced everyone to either take on a second job, or to change their retirement plans indefinitely. In its most simplistic terms, that means that there were no “real” jobs waiting for millennials when they got out of college. Now the only way to live is to adopt a side hustle. Are you ready to step into the world of millennial finances?The most important part about having a side hustle is for you not to be embarrassed about having to make some money on the side. (Hey, some people even like their side hustle so much they can <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/how-to-quit-your-job/ashley-reign">quit their job</a>.) Anyone who says they don’t have to tighten their belts is either lying through their teeth or they have a trust fund and they’ll be feeling the burden soon enough. Whether you’re a millennial looking for ideas on how to make some extra money on the side, or you’re just intrigued at what young people are doing for money, all of these are earnest, and viable ways of making a living in a time when it’s very hard to make money. Vote on the best side hustles for millennials,&nbsp;that is if you have the time to take a break from one of your three jobs.&nbsp;

Unless you have that dream job where you work your own high-paying hours designing illusions for top tier magicians on the Vegas strip... you probably have something about your job you hate. Some of us work under the most employee-hating conditions imaginable (Wal-Mart *cough*), some of us work 3 jobs just to keep the lights on and some of us do ok but have to spend all the hours of our lives sitting in flourescent-lit cubes. What's the worst thing about your job? And please, add yours, because I only scratched the surface here. Vote... and ADD.

Everyone has horror stories about their worst jobs or the worst things they ever had to do at work, but nothing can make the work experience worse than a boss who just clearly doesn&#39;t get it. Whether they are charging employees for charging their phones or firing people over open mustard containers, these are the bosses that will make you glad you don&#39;t work for them.

With a hat tip to the Reddit forum <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ThanksManagement/" target="_blank">r/ThanksManagement</a>, check out these horrible bosses and have a look at what these poor employees have to deal with.

Have you ever wanted to work at an animal shelter so you can play with puppies all day, or be a park ranger and talk about animals and go on a lot of hikes? Do you ever think about how cool it would be to dig up dinosaurs as a&nbsp;paleontologist or be a zookeeper? Redditors have responded to an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/hhq0dy/which_job_is_a_lot_less_fun_than_most_people/?sort=confidence" target="_blank">Ask Reddit</a>, sharing the worst things about the jobs they expected to be way more fun.&nbsp;Their responses suggest that until we we&#39;ve done a certain job, we might have an idealized version of it in our heads. Vote up the jobs that were surprisingly less fun than you imagined.

Writer <a href="https://twitter.com/delia_p" target="_blank">Delia Paunescu</a> asked Twitter users what their favorite passive-aggressive work phrases were and the responses were all too relatable. It&#39;s apparently a universal truth that in&nbsp;an effort to sound more professional, corporate emails end up sounding like they&#39;re barely concealing a volcano of rage.

Here are some of the best examples of the meanings behind everyday corporate catchphrases.

With the rapid advances in modern technology, more jobs and new opportunities that would have seemed like science fiction a few years ago are becoming a reality. However, as we evolve, a lot of jobs people used to do back in the day are becoming obsolete. This list of jobs that no longer exist show the examples of old positions that have given way to new opportunities on the job search.Some of these jobs already seem insane to us – it's crazy to us now that PEOPLE ever did these tasks and not machines. It only leaves us to wonder what jobs will no longer exist ten years from now, and seem odd in the future.

The toughest service industry jobs are those that deal with the general public. These occupations&nbsp;are physically and mentally demanding, and the pay is rarely decent. In fact, a&nbsp;Southern Medical University <a href="http://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/mgxpex/scientists-say-its-more-stressful-to-be-a-waiter-than-a-neurosurgeon" target="_blank">study found</a> that demanding jobs&nbsp;are among the most detrimental to mental and physical health. This means people who work as baristas and call center employees&nbsp;may&nbsp;deal with more&nbsp;stress than&nbsp;a neurosurgeon. &nbsp;Unless&nbsp;you’ve worked a service industry job, there are&nbsp;some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jokes-only-service-industry-workers-understand/michael-grimes" target="_blank">things you’ll never understand</a>. The work is difficult, but the bonds you&nbsp;develop with&nbsp;co-workers are deep. You’ll absolutely have some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/walmart-employee-stories/lowe-saddler" target="_blank">crazy employee&nbsp;stories</a>, but the laughs may not be worth the lack of job satisfaction.

Have you ever considered the irony in rushing home from a long day at work, just to watch a TV show about work? Whether we love or hate our jobs, or even get sick of coworkers, the first priority for many of us is turning on the tube after a day at the office, often watching a show that takes place on the job. So, what is it about these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/workplace-comedy-tv-shows-sitcoms-list/ranker-tv" target="_blank">workplace TV series</a> we like so much, when they really just take us straight back to work? Perhaps it's simply due to having&nbsp;so many great shows currently airing, many of which deal with work-related situations.&nbsp;It's true, of the hundreds of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-shows-currently-on-the-air?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">TV shows airing</a> weekly, there's a long list of current shows about work, long hours, coworkers, etc. Whether it's an escape from our own jobs or we truly enjoy putting in the hours, we love these kinds of TV shows. From the popular Silicon Valley to the always-funny&nbsp;Bob's Burgers, dramas, cartoons,&nbsp;and sitcoms based in the workplace&nbsp;account for some of TV's top shows. But just which current shows about work are the best?&nbsp;Vote up your favorite workplace <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-shows-currently-on-the-air" target="_blank">TV series currently on air</a> from the list below, and vote any down that you're not a fan of.

Oh, hipsters; you thrift store loving, American beer drinking, permanent look of disdain having folks are such an interesting slice of society. There are very few popular professions that really suit the temperament of a hipster; jobs that involve being nice to people, waking up before noon, wearing a uniform, and/or&nbsp;using the art history degree they toiled away at are all strictly unsuitable for the modern hipster. That said, you have to wonder: what are the best jobs for hipsters?Think criticism, think alcohol, think endless opportunities to talk about yourself and you will start to conceive of jobs hipsters have. From art in its many forms to anything that involves speaking derisively about something another person has put effort into, the many professions of hipsters put to use the few likes (and myriad dislikes) of the hipster mentality. Here, in one sure-to-be-dismissed-by-hipsters list, are all the careers hipsters like (so much as they can like something that other people already like).If you're looking to further your research into hipster sensibilities, you may also want to check out these voteable lists of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/most-hipster-bands">hipster bands</a>, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-hipster-movies/all-genre-movies-lists">hipster movies </a>and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/hipster-brands/elise">brands that hipsters love</a>.

Comedy Central's dark comedy&nbsp;Corporate debuted in 2018&nbsp;to decent reviews; after all,&nbsp;the central focus of the show was depression surrounding office jobs — perhaps a problem with which&nbsp;viewers were&nbsp;all too familiar.&nbsp;Much like the problems faced by main characters&nbsp;Jake and Matt, it's possible all the aspects of your desk job are&nbsp;slowly&nbsp;killing you.&nbsp;Sure, there's the depression and anxiety aspect of work, conditions almost incubated in the modern American workplace, but there are also more direct physiological effects that you may inherit&nbsp;at your desk without even realizing it.What constitutes <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-jobs-ever/anabel-conner" target="_blank">the worst jobs</a>&nbsp;is subjective, and while some may think office jobs are &quot;cushy,&quot; that doesn't mean they lack risk. In fact, some risks are inherent&nbsp;or even exclusive to office jobs. Additionally, you could be taking those risks&nbsp;home with you —&nbsp;if you're having trouble sleeping, you can bet there's a good chance it's related to your office (good thing there are tricks to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-to-sleep-at-work/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">how to sleep&nbsp;at work</a>).Vote up the reasons your office job secretly hates you and uncover&nbsp;some good reasons to start looking for other options.&nbsp;

Who among us doesn&#39;t sometimes feel a little animosity towards their job? To alleviate the tension brought on by annoying coworkers, uncomfortable desks, and long overtime hours, job-related memes might just do the trick.

Rather than wallow in the woes of microwaved fish and that one employee who never stops sniffling, take some time during your work-break to indulge in memes that nail how you feel about your job.

From&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-workplace-memes/nathandavidson" target="_blank">office memes</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/working-in-retail-memes/nathandavidson" target="_blank">retail memes</a>, these work-related jokes resonate with anyone who&#39;s ever clocked in to a position. Even if the weekend lies four entire workdays away, at least <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-workplace-memes/nathandavidson?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">work memes</a> give you the strength to carry onwards and upwards.&nbsp;

In the US, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/how-restaurant-tipping-started/christy-box" target="_blank">tipping</a> is an&nbsp;expected courtesy for exceptional service, but there are certain people who can't accept tips, regardless of the quality of their work.&nbsp;No matter how much you appreciate the service of a flight attendant, they are not allowed to accept gratuity.&nbsp;Sometimes, a specific establishment will ban tipping, as they pay their workers fair wages without gratuity. A few of the hottest restaurants in New York City have started adjusting their prices&nbsp;so that their employees don't have to rely on tips.However, some <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/international-tipping-etiquette/dukeharten" target="_blank">worldwide</a>&nbsp;corporations&nbsp;don’t allow their workers to accept tips at any time, even if their employees are working for minimum wage. When the good people who work at McDonald's decline your tip, they're not being rude or unappreciative, it's simply not their decision.&nbsp;

Secret Agent

Secret Agent is a British film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, loosely based on two stories in Ashenden: Or the British Agent by W. Somerset Maugham. The film starred Madeleine Carroll, Peter Lorre, John Gielgud, and Robert Young. Future star Michael Redgrave made a brief, uncredited appearance; he would play the male lead in Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes two years later. This was also Michael Rennie's film debut.
Typical Hitchcockian themes used here include mistaken identity and murder.

Detective

A detective is an investigator, usually a member of a law enforcement agency. Some are private persons, and may be known as private investigators or "private eyes".
Informally, and primarily in fiction, a detective is any licensed or unlicensed person who solves crimes, including historical crimes, or looks into records.
In some police departments, a detective position is achieved by passing a written test after a person completes the requirements for being a police officer. In many other police systems, detectives are college graduates who join directly from civilian life without first serving as uniformed officers. Some people argue that detectives do a completely different job and therefore require completely different training, qualifications, qualities and abilities than uniformed officers. The opposing argument is that without previous service as a uniformed patrol officer, a detective cannot have a great enough command of standard police procedures and problems and will find it difficult to work with uniformed colleagues.
