What are your Options in High Paying Jobs if you don't Really have Qualifications?

High paying jobs, basically, come in two kinds. You can have a full-time job where you get paid $100 an hour for the entire work day, all year. That would net you $200,000 a year. The other kind of job is where you get paid $100 an hour but then you are basically a freelancer. You don't have someone paying you every hour of the workday. Making $100 an hour in a country where the average wage is $16 an hour places you at the very top. For full-time job that pays that much, you need to be a CEO, a doctor or a Wall Street type. What do you do though if you don't want or have that kind of education? Is there anything that pays as well? As luck would have it, if you happen to not be the bookish type, there are quite a few jobs that could net you that kind of pay.

Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit started out as a tattoo artist. In his interviews, he makes it sound kind of like he barely got by doing it. The best tattoo artists though, make about $150 an hour. There are tattoo schools that you could go to; but most artists learn their art working with another more established artist. Of course, tattoo artists don't get to work full-time. It works only when customers come in. But apart from that, it's a sweet deal.

Do you have a knack when it comes to seeing through the lens? Well-done photography is one of those high-paying jobs where you don't need any qualifications other than an eye for beauty and a way of expressing what you see through photography. While most average photographers make no more than $50 an hour, the best ones make $100 an hour. Cities around New England pay the best for such jobs - especially when you have several years under your belt. The best paid photographers are the ones who have a lot of skill in graphic art and design.

No one ever knew there was such a thing as a hand model, a foot model or chest model until that episode came up on Seinfeld where George Costanza, out of a job and with no prospects, suddenly discovers that his hands are so perfect that advertisers will pay him a small fortune to photograph his hands for advertisements. Such models of parts of their bodies can make $100 an hour. But they do have to be extraordinarily vain; they have to take great care of that one body part.
