What are some high paying jobs that don't require a college degree?

Looking into getting a new full time job. I obviously want to make more money than I'm making now. Looking to make $35,000 and up. Any jobs that don't require a college degree? I know they are out there.

1. I know some executive assistant and administrative assistants in the financial sector that make well above that. Depends on where you are though, my location has a high cost of living.
2. they're hard to find. and it would take years to get promoted to get to that level. but janitors actually make a lot
3. If you want to make more money, you either need a degree or you need experience, and gaining enough experience to translate it into a lot of money will probably take you longer than earning a degree. Just keep one thing in mind: sometimes who you know matters a lot more than what you know.
4. Become an officer at a local level. You need to be 21, pass a written test, and a psychological exam, and a physical one.
5. Sales.  Like new cars, or advertising at radio or TV stations.  Not stuff like shoes or appliances at Sears.
6. I've heard of UPS delivery guys that make $50k. Postal workers make around $45k. You could also do well going to a vocational tech school.
7. Hi salaries come from having high skill levels . ( which you do NOT get from high school ) If you are not college bound , the other alternative is to get into an apprenticeship position with one of the better unions . The skill level comes from 4 years of course work accompanied by on the job training . The electricians , carpenters , plumbers and heavy equipment operators all make decent wages (better than $35K) once they make journeyman . >
8. my neighbor makes a good amount working for the town's DPW, maybe you could do that
