Codie Sanchez breaks down a list of high-paying jobs without degrees, questioning whether the salaries are averages or outliers. She flags that examples like Twitch streamers and top athletes are extreme outliers, not realistic paths for most people.

I got sent this video showing the highest paying trade jobs that exist without a degree. Let's see. Sound engineer. That makes sense. You can make money doing all that. Real estate broker, definitely. 80K. UPS driver 100K. I actually do know that that's possible. Electrical repairs. 103. That's all right. Power plant operator. You're going to need some sort of certification for that. So I don't know if I'm buying that. Construction manager. About 150 for sure. In and out. Paying high apparently. I don't know if you're going to get ahead of partnerships without some sort of degree. You're definitely not getting an investment banking job without a degree. So maybe this list is kind of trash. Oh my go gosh. Now we have a million dollars for a Twitch streamer. I think that's like.001%. Same with all of these athletes. And certainly most YouTubers don't make $6 million a year. So I kind of don't know how they did this list. I don't want to throw. But I think you got to be really careful of these videos that show you how much somebody can make without a degree when they don't tell you is it average? Is it outlier, Is it median? The numbers matter. And in this video, maybe the first 10 looked about right. And then past that I think you could disregard. You tell me in the comments what you think.
