Although training to become a commercial pilot does not require a degree, obtaining a commercial pilot license, which is required to pay as a pilot, is costly. Indeed estimates that obtaining a commercial pilot license costs between $55,000 and $100,000.
The second highest paying job on Final Round AI's list is dental hygienist. Although only 12.63% of dental hygienist positions require a degree in their job postings, New York State requires a high school diploma in addition to completion of a dental hygiene licensing program accredited by the American Dental Association. State requirements may vary depending on the profession.
Although the high-paying positions on this list do not specifically require a college degree in many of their job postings, they may still have unwritten time- and money-intensive requirements to meet.
