Believe it or not, there are still some sweet spots left in the American job market. Places where a savvy worker with some willpower can pocket a healthy paycheck without racking up six figures of student loans.
The Daily crunched reams of job forecast data to come up with these 10 great gigs. Our criteria was fairly simple: The occupations had to pay an above average wage, offer double-digit percent growth prospects in the decade ending 2020 and require no more than a master’s degree. We also nixed anything that would require a move to a specific spot, such as the gas fields of North Dakota.
So forget what politicians spout off about job creation in coming weeks. Need to improve your lot in life? Consider one of these gigs.
