Not all jobs are treated the same — and not all require a college degree to have a successful career.

Data journalism website Stacker sought to find the highest-paying jobs that don’t require a college degree in New York City. It consulted the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook to compile a list of all jobs that don’t require higher education.

All professions that listed a high school diploma, some college education (without a degree conferred), post-secondary non-degree award, or no formal education requirements for entry-level positions were considered in this list. Jobs were ranked by their annual mean wage in 2020.
