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

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.

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.

We all know the economy's been taking a few gut-punches in recent years, and stories about &quot;job creation&quot; have become a staple in the news. Complicating the generally crap availability of worthwhile employment opportunities, a flood of advances in artificial intelligence and cheap robotics technology have provoked some rather scary conversations lately about the possibility of almost all routinized labor being replaced within the next 20 to 30 years by computerized and automated workers. Which jobs and careers are robots poised to take from us mere mortals in the not so distant future?This scenario obviously has its pros and cons, but what we all want to know most urgently is, of course, &quot;Will my own job be replaced by a robot some day soon?&quot; Good question. Which jobs are most likely to be taken over by robots? Which jobs are the most secure from robot infiltration? Will service robots eventually, creepily outnumber actual human citizens? Scroll down to discover the answers to these questions and cast your votes for the jobs you think will disappear thanks to advances in technology. (I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.)

Managers can be mean, disorganized, irresponsible, or just plain lazy. Whether they're quietly blaming employees for their own executive decisions, slacking off while yelling at their underlings about the virtues of efficiency, or just lost in a cloud of their own superiority and self-entitlement, bad managers come in a variety of colors and flavors. Vote below to let us know which qualities make for the worst kind of manager.

These are the top ten rarest jobs in America. These careers employ less than 4,000 people nationwide. From the top sciences like astronomer and mathematician to wood pattern maker, these jobs will make you stop and say &quot;wow, somebody does that for a living?&quot; If you want to embark on one of these uncommon careers, you'll definitely have some learning to do. The rarest occupations in the country (and the world, for that matter) aren't easy. You'll probably have to get some special training before you get to give these a go. The best part about some of these rare careers and professions? They can pull in some major dough. Take airplane crop-dusters: the stats are hard to find because they usually freelance, but those guys can make anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 per year. Then there's underwater welders who not only do they pull down $80-100k, they also use fire....underwater! What are rare jobs? If you think about it, some of the highly sought after gigs, like being a pro referee to bei a geographer, are pretty rare.

Need a day off? Here's a list of the best excuses to get out of work—including believable excuses to miss work, ridiculous reasons to stay home and funny justifications for taking the day off. Hey, sometimes we all need to take a sick day, or take a &quot;sick day&quot; but we don't know exactly what to tell our boss that they&nbsp;will believe or allow. The most popular excuses to miss work are often health-related. People always think to say that they are sick or that their car broke down. While this way to miss work is sometimes believable, you can't always use the same reason.&nbsp;Good excuses for missing work are usually either very specific—like your toilet overflowed and you have to handle it, or are very vague—like you need a &quot;personal&quot; day. Is it a bad idea to lie to your boss about why you are missing work? Probably. Do people do it all of the time? Absolutely. For many readers, the reasons listed here are good excuses for taking the day off.&nbsp;So what do you think? What is a good excuse for getting out of work? Do you lie to your boss or do you just tell him or her why you need the day off? Vote for your favorites and add your own ideas to help rank the best excuses for missing work.&nbsp;

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?

Akamai Technologies

Akamai Technologies, Inc. is a cloud services provider headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States. Akamai's content delivery network is one of the world's largest distributed computing platforms. The company operates a network of servers around the world and rents capacity on these servers to customers who want their websites to work faster by distributing content from locations close to the user. Over the years their customers have included Apple, Facebook, Bing, Twitter and healthcare.gov. When a user navigates to the URL of an Akamai customer, their browser is redirected to one of Akamai’s copies of this website, almost entirely invisible to the vast majority of its users.
As of 2009, secure connections pose a problem to Akamai, and attempts to connect to a popular website over HTTPS may reveal the Akamai backend. More recently, however, enhanced security offerings such as Kona Site Defender have become a major selling point, and in 2013 were the leading driver of revenue growth for the company.
The company was founded in 1998 by Daniel M.
