The fastest-growing jobs that don’t require a bachelor’s degree — some pay over $100,000
|
More companies are scrapping their degree requirements, creating new opportunities for people who skip college to land competitive, high-paying jobs.
By 2030, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that about 60% of all new jobs in the economy will be in occupations that don’t require an associate, bachelor’s or graduate degree.
Data scientists at LinkedIn analyzed millions of member profiles and descriptions of job postings shared on the platform. Here’s what they found are the fastest-growing jobs for people without a bachelor’s degree:
1. Consulting Top jobs: Client advisor, business consultant, solutions consultant
2. Marketing Top jobs: Social media manager, marketing specialist, marketing coordinator
3. Research Top jobs: Laboratory technician, business analyst, medical laboratory technician
4. Human resources Top jobs: Human resources specialist, human resources assistant
5. Media and communications Top jobs: Writer, production assistant, editor, production manager
Some of these jobs offer six-figure salaries: Skilled production managers can expect to make at least $106,000 per year, while the top-earning solutions consultants typically earn between $113,000 and $167,000, according to ZipRecruiter.

Get Ahead: How to write an OOO email that keeps co-workers from bothering you
If your co-workers are emailing you with timely requests while you’re on vacation, you might be writing your out-of-office email wrong, says Brandon Smith, a career coach known as The Workplace Therapist.
A simple message like, “I’ll be OOO until [insert date] with limited access to email,” can be easy to shrug off. Instead, Smith recommends including a personal detail. This can set a stronger boundary and help you elicit more guilt from whoever dares cross it.
Smith suggests the following format, as an example:
“I’m going to be on a family vacation on [insert dates]. If you need immediate assistance, please contact [information of colleague]”
This approach gets the point across without being too long or divulging too much personal information.

This common mistake left ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge Simon Cowell broke at 28
|
British music mogul Simon Cowell may have hundreds of millions of dollars to his name today, but the 63-year-old wasn’t always a savvy businessman.
In his late 20s, Cowell had some success working in the music industry as an artists and repertoire (A&R) consultant and signing novelty acts like the Power Rangers and puppets Zig and Zag.
It’s then, Cowell said, that he got carried away. “Once I started to make a little bit of money, then I just did everything a young A&R guy would do. [I] bought a Porsche, bought a house I couldn’t afford,” he said recently at Advertising Week Europe, recalling lessons from this career path.
Before long, he’d spent all his money — and then some — and had to move home with his mom and dad.
“By the time I was 28, I was broke,” he said. “I was nearly bankrupt, actually.”
It wasn’t until about a decade later, in his mid-30s, that Cowell said he started to do “really well.” Today, the music mogul’s estimated net worth is $483 million, according to the latest edition of the Sunday Times Rich List.
Still, Cowell said his early money mistake helped him learn an important lesson: “[What] it taught me was I was rushing; I wanted everything to happen overnight.”
