What are some well paying jobs that don't require much experience or education?

I've started looking and can't find a better job than the one I'm at now. I want to leave because of the constant stress and liability. I have OCD and ADD. I hate pressure to work on cars in a limited amount of time and never make human error. They also don't give out raises, only move you to the training program if you are the top express tech, which I know two others ranking higher than me, so it might take years. As an express tech at Honda I can make up to $12 an hour on average if I work about 10-12 hours overtime. I need to make more than $500 a week to support my wife and kid. I only completed a year of college, but now I'm having trouble fitting college in because I work from 7-5:30, watch my kid after I pick him up from daycare until my wife comes home from her part-time job from 5-9 (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun). She has school on Tuesdays all day and Thursday in the morning until afternoon. Her schedule will change soon to (M, W, F) morning classes. Our lease is up in June and we have money for a downpayment on a house from taxes. My job is planning on changing our schedule too, so I will work 40 or more hours a week (cutting overtime). I've applied to Home Depot and Costco. I'm willing to do just about anything to make more money. Please, help me understand all my options and limitations considering that my priorities are to help my wife get her associates degree (probably one more year) and I need to pay the majority of the bills. I don't qualify for food stamps.

Do what honours God. And also do whatever you are happy with.

There are many high-paying jobs that don't require a lot of experience, you can start by learning basic programming.

Not alot of demand for ignoramuses with no skills. Count on minimum wage.

No such thing. Jobs that don't require much experience or education can be done by pretty much anyone, thus those jobs don't need to pay well.

What a lot of parents do is they wait until their spouse finishes their degree and gets that first job before they study. Basically, first one goes, then another. Otherwise, as you've found, it can be hard to balance everything.

If you want to get started, but need college on a flexible schedule, take only one class at a time, and take it online. That way, if the only time you have to do your schoolwork is 9:30pm on Tu and Th, then that's when you go to class. But stay away from the for profit schools and those that are famous for being online, as employers don't respect them. Instead, focus on your local community colleges and public unis in your home state. Not only are they reputable, but they'll be cheaper, as you get the lower, in-state rate on tuition; and many of them offer online classes and even entire online degrees.

Before you make a change, do some research to find out what's in demand where you live, and pays well. It does you no good, for example, to study game design if there are no game design employers where you live. This isn't about "passion" or fun - it's about finding a job that better suits you, and provides you and your family with enough income to live a happy life. Perhaps it's not even an academic degree - perhaps you'd be happier in a different trade? Consider all your options.

Until then, or even perhaps instead of college - it sounds like you're really handy, yes? First, based on your experience now, it is entirely possible that you will get hired by THD. If there's a Lowe's near you, also apply there. Costco is an amazing employer, if you can get in there; but it's quite hard to get a job there. If you know anyone working there, that can help, so if you do, make sure they know you've applied. Other employers that do really well by their non-college employees include UPS, the US Postal Service, and other package delivery companies; state and local governments, universities and K-12 schools, and hospitals. I actually wonder, with your skills and being handy, if you might not be able to get a job as a custodian or maintenance worker at a local school. These jobs are often *union* jobs. Benefits, real pay, career jobs. Check out what's available and apply. And if you get a full time job at a uni, you often get to go there tuition free - a win-win.

To make extra money now, or perhaps even as a beginning to something bigger, you might think about your own business. You could do it on the side for now, either while you're working where you are, or else once you get a better job. Perhaps things like "Rent a Husband", where you do small handy jobs for people. Or working on cars on your own. Working on small engines. Or, since you're Honda, working only on Hondas and perhaps other Japanese cars, restoring their mechanics - if you are good at this, people will ship their cars 3,000 miles to you, and wait months for the work. People make entire careers of doing this stuff on their own, and you'd be in charge of your own schedule, doing the jobs around your other commitments, on your own pace. Might be something to consider.

The owner of the business.

Otherwise, such jobs don't exist.

Going to have to suck it up, and take what you can, pressure and stress will never disappear in a workplace, bosses
are always going to tell their employees what to do and how to do it, you've got to find a job with as little pressure and stress as possible if you want the cash
