According to PBS Newshour, the number of people pursuing a college degree post high school has declined since the pandemic.

How can I make $100,000 a year without a degree?
Many of the jobs listed in this article have earning potential over $100,000. Since most employers make offers based on experience, you may have to work for several years in your chosen industry before you can reach aΒ six-figure salary.
Matthew Warzel, President of MJW Careers, says climbing the ladder in any industry is all about seeking out opportunities for continued education, but not necessarily in the traditional sense.
βOpt for free experiential learning like internships. Work freelance projects for friends, neighbors, etc., and continuously build your portfolio, skills, and competencies,β says Warzel, whose advice has appeared in publications like the Chicago Tribune and Forbes. βIdentify the possible credentials you may need to better position yourself in this new role, find online institutions where you can acquire these credentials, and list them on your resume.β
Warzel says itβs also important to network with industry pros and to learn about the types of jobs in your industry that could be a step up from what youβre doing now.
βIt comes down to βWill you make money for the new company or cost them money?’β he says. βWork hard to be the former β it will carry you farther. Offer value and solutions, not abilities or skills. Everyone can ride a bike, but not everyone can ride a bike 60 miles to raise money for a charitable cause that was about to go bankrupt.β
