In lots of tech careers, like the high paying tech Jobs above, formal education doesn’t matter. What does matters is the skills, experience, and ability to learn new things? Does this mean you should forgo college altogether? Not necessarily. Instead, take comfort in knowing that you have options. You aren’t doomed for financial insecurity if you don’t have a diploma in hand.
