How to Raise Yer Own Damn Wage in 2021
Here’s the hard Paycheck truth: If we sit around and wait for the government to raise wages so we can get paid more… we’re either a) going to be waiting around for a long time or b) going to be dealing with an inflation rate that makes the raise pointless.
What if we told you there are literally thousands of jobs that pay $20 or more per hour that you, yes you, could start as early as… next week?
We can’t change everything buuuuuut we can try to change our own situation better.
Here’s the top 5 jobs that pay $20/hr or MORE that you can get without a college degree:
🧾📒 Bookkeeper: You don’t need a degree, or even certification to work as a bookkeeper. You just need to learn how to use the most common bookkeeping programs (which you can do for free on Youtube), and you’re ready to find a bookkeeping position and earn about $20/hr to start.
👨🔧🪠Skilled Trades: Another job you can start right away - there’s a shortage of electricians and plumbers. Get paid while learning the job, and make an average of $29 per hour.
🤓💾 Information Technology: There’s a crazy number of certification programs offered by companies like Microsoft and Cisco. For the price of a couple hundred bucks and a few weeks of studying for a test, you could be qualified for a salary between $25/hr to $53/hr.
👩🏫📚Online English Teacher: Know English? Well there’s literally BILLIONS of people who want to learn. All you’ll need is a quick certification (about 120 hours of training) and you can start teaching English online to students around the world and earning $20/hr or more!
🏭👨🏭Manufacturing: Wisconsin has a super strong manufacturing sector. Consider one of these shops that are hiring people without experience to work as tool and die makers, warehouse workers, steel workers, machine operators,and more!
🔥Bottom line: These jobs are hot right now and we think they are good choices for hard working Paychecks looking to level up. If you think we missed something then let us know on social media. You can also check out the Job Center of Wisconsin official site for over 100,000 more job openings!
