Attention job seekers, Canada's high-paying jobs that you can get without a degree this year have been revealed.

Some salaries for these positions are close to or even more than $100,000 a year!

Indeed recently revealed the high-paying jobs without degree requirements that are available across Canada in 2024.

If you're searching for jobs and you don't have a degree, you might not know what positions you can get without having graduated from a university.

Also, you might not know that you can get hired for high-paying positions!

Some of the industries that offer the highest-paying jobs without requiring a four-year university degree include the medical field, the tech industry and the trades, according to Indeed.

These are high-paying jobs you can get in Canada this year even if you don't have a degree:

  • welder — average salary of $51,803 per year
  • dump truck driver — average salary of $57,550 per year
  • sales executive — average salary of $58,927 a year
  • automotive technician — average salary of $62,850 per year

  • air traffic controller — average salary of $133,181 per year

Indeed recommended evaluating your skills before applying for a job without degree requirements and then showcasing those skills in your application and interview.

That's because a lot of industries put more value on a worker's skills than their education.

So, even if you don't go to university, you can still get hired for a job that pays you a lot of money.

If you're looking for more job inspiration, Indeed also revealed the best jobs in Canada for 2024 which have high salaries, offer remote or hybrid work and have "opportunity growth."

Those positions include senior tax manager, child protection practitioner, structural engineer, librarian, accounting supervisor and more.
