We can all agree that education is important. However, taking the traditional education route of attending a four-year university after secondary school can take a long time and is usually fairly pricey.

For some, the traditional schooling system is not their forte and the idea of racking up debt in the form of loans is not enticing.

If attending college isn’t in your plans, you should consider getting a degree via distance learning programmes or get an online degree in any course. In Nigeria, while you might not need a degree to get a job, you would eventually need it for career progression.

There are still several occupations in the job market that provide a great income, a positive work-life balance and a high level of satisfaction that also don’t require you to follow the typical road towards a four-year degree.

However, for a good number of these jobs, you will have to register and get certifications from several certified training and courses aligned with your career.

We have compiled a list of 9 amazing career opportunities that don’t require a university degree.

Before we hoist ourselves into career opportunities, let us remind ourselves that finding a job in this digital age is a different process than it was twenty years ago.

While not all great jobs require a degree, it can be difficult to know where to look for a rewarding job with minimal education requirements.

In this article, we will discuss 9 jobs that you can pursue without a degree.

We will help you understand the job descriptions, inform you on how to meet job requirements, as well as provide the average annual salary for each of the jobs listed below. It is our goal to help you find a career that is right for you and that you can start within a short time-frame.
