You Don’t Need a Degree for That Job

With the rising cost of tuition and the struggle to find jobs after graduation, many young people are wondering if the time and money spent on their education will be worth it.

Do employers really care about a university degree? The answer is, “it depends”. Savvy employers are realizing that for many jobs what they really need are individuals with talent, character, and work ethic. Show an employer you are good at something, a skill they need, and a lack of post-secondary education is not likely a factor in the hiring decision.

Here are a few careers that don’t require a degree:

  • Entrepreneurship
  • Sales
  • Design
  • Customer Service
