The key is to locate jobs that have a high median annual wage and steady or high career growth rate.  They should also have matching requirements with your skills, experience and/or education.  While many of these jobs do not require a degree, some may require education, apprenticeship or job training certifications.  Some may prefer a degree but will substitute work experience for education.  

UPDATE! See the Special Section in Starting Over Magazine, DMK 2020 Career Challenge, with updated lists of careers and salaries at multiple education levels.
