There are careers that don't fit in the usual categories, and yet offer decent salaries. They may require additional education but will not have you acquiring years and years of debt. Think of bartending, truck driving, cooking or being a personal chef, sign language interpreting, becoming a child care or nursery school teacher, meatcutting, and card dealing. Surprised? Some on the list you may not have considered. Check out some schools to help you get your foot in the door of these different careers!
NOTE: We do not list the traditional local Vocational and Trade Schools as that information is easily available. There are thousands of Trade and Tech schools and we could never list them all here! We share schools that specialize, or offer unusual courses that lead to less traditional careers. We hope you gain new ideas here and that this expands your thinking!
