Turning a Job Into a Career

By : C M Johnson

There are some careers which you can move up from entry level employee to middle, upper middle, or even high income levels without a college degree. These paths are much more "personality" and "attitude" dependent than they are anything else, given that you're already a dependable, and hard worker.

What I mean is that they depend on a person having a likable personality, along with having the right kind of personality for sticking with this type of job long-term. These two characteristics combined with a very positive, hard-working, can do attitude and it may be a path for you.

Is it an easy path? By no means is this path easy. In life, we all face trade-offs. You didn't have to get an Associate, Bachelors, Masters, or Doctorate Degree as a requirement, so you can bet you will pay for it in the way of long hours, hard physical work, and going to extreme lengths to prove yourself. This is the trade-off. You didn't have to first go get the formal education, but you will indeed have to work your butt off to advance into management, effectively and progressively moving into and through blue collar positions, finally arriving at a white collar management position.

Instead of the University, you traded years of hard work and sweat equity to gain the experience for the job. Having a degree first does help in this type of job, but normally, you are put through the ranks anyway. A degree may help you to rise to the highest levels of management in some such organizations however. Think about your career goals and outcomes you desire before entering this type of job so you choose the proper path, degreed or non-degreed.
