How do I find a job that pays well without a college degree?

It's a pretty niche field that's extremely rare to get a job in, I wouldn't recommend it. What I would recommend though is maybe pursuing an I.t. Related field. A friend of mine learned all his programming knowledge for free online and got a state job and is now making 110k a year with no college education and he's only like 30 years old. There's so many resources for that degree you can get a full education equivalent to a bachelors degree in that field for free. You could learn grammar really well and increase your typing speed and be a transcriptionist. I have a 90wpm typing speed and could make around 17 to 20 an hour being a transcriptionist. Of course there's always things like being a plumber which you could literally make tons of money, but I've done it before and it's such a tiring job you literally don't have energy for anything else. I appreciate my sit down job because when I leave work on a weekday I still have tons of energy to do whatever I want to do. You could also pursue some sort of driving job, I do snow plowing in the winter and gradually moved up from a low wage shoveler to 35 an hour skid steer operator, but that's only part time in the winter, I've never found a reliable way to transfer that over into a full time job, but the money and potential is there.
