I believe that you can become a nurse in two years. It may only be a LPN rather than a RN, but you can then help people and receive good pay while you continue on to becoming a RN or even attaining a degree. All the while you are dealing with people that that need help! Good luck!

No, you don't need a degree. I know high school students who do tutoring. You have to know a subject well and know how to teach it and how to relate to others who are struggling with the subject.

Good luck. \n\n(Translation: Jobs like that are few and far between. Read classified ads, visit craigslist and Monster, and you might run across one, but my right gut is saying you probably don't have any necessary qualifications.)

I'm trying the same thing but in Milton Keynes.  I've heard that the best way to start your career is to do some volunteer work with a care organisation.  Hope this helps.

In my experience, a BA in Social Science isn't useful on it's own, except for a school teacher.  You would need a Master's degree in something more specific (Clinical Psychology, Counseling, Social Work) to really get anywhere.\n\nI recommend doing a career counseling program.  A good one involves psychological tests, lots of reading and studying about potential careers, and answering hard questions about yourself.  That will help with future plans.

Try the Samaritans or Citizens Advice Bureau. They always need counsellors and will give some training and tell you about appropriate courses. It is voluntary work but I think it will give you a good base for a career.\nEven if you are working full-time they should be able to advise on which courses are best. You may also consider volunteering in your spare time. Just two or three hours a week would be useful to these organisations.

You can work at various publicly funded institutions like senior centers, psych wards, prisons, hospitals, etc. You can hang a shingle and start a private counseling practice. You can get certified to become a school counselor. If you like and care about people, it's a rewarding job.

There are many agencies out there that specialize in doing just that...helping released cons attain jobs and lead normal lives. My cousin works for one in New York. Email me if you are in NY I may be able to help you out if you need assistance....

well, I don't have any degree, but I happened to answer an ad in the paper.  They hired me as a drug and alcohol counselor with no experience in drugs, or counseling (well except bartending.)  Once I got into the field, it enabled me to find out what part of counseling I wanted to do, because from my experience there's a pretty wide range, which most people don't realize.  Or you could ask some professors at a college who know about the different fields.  There are jobs out there who hire entry-level because it can be a difficult field with low-pay.

Peace Corps does not require a college degree -- what it requires is that you have a skill you can use in volunteering.  What have you done with your life so far?  Do you know anything about health?  Anything about agriculture, carpentry, or another skill with your hands?  \n\nThere are also NGO's (Non-Governmental Organizations) in many countries, which can give you a long-term or even a permanent position.  \n\nAnother organization is the Volunteer Services Organization, or VSO.  This is an international organization much like Peace Corps, which also uses people for their teaching or manual labor skills.  \n\nDon't give up hope before looking into things!  You have Americorps, Peace Corps, VSO, Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Caretakers of the Environment, and NGO's.  Most of these will give a (small) food allowance for your help.

If you want to help people you could volunteer at a hospital or homeless shelter. If you want to help animals you could volunteer at your zoo. You can be a tour guide there or work with the animals. Get a job that is in your interest. start a website or create a company. do what you want to do!

Check out the link below.  Common industries for people with Education degrees include educational publishing, corporate training and counseling.  You might want to consider adult education as well (it's nice to teach people who are in class voluntarily).

Many technical fields have some sort of technician entry level that don't rely on a degree. Why not try your local careers centre there is a book called Ocupations which lists jobs with their route of entry... good luck!

Do you not get an allowance? If not, speak to your parents about "fair wages" for "extra chores".. You and your friend could look into Volunteer work, at first you think there isn't any money in that, but, if you volunteer at a Nursing Home, you can "push" the wheelchair seniors around for a walk, you can read to them, you can write/print letters for them, help them cut their food, all kinds of things.  An other volunteer job is with the local Humane Society. Helping feed and clean the animals. Both these volunteer positions will enhance your prospects. For babysitting or child care/ you will have experience. You can take a Free course at your local Y.M.C.A and get a certificate that Proves your qualified to babysit. Ask your neighbours if you can help for pay. Clean the basement, the garage, walk the dog, go to the store for them. With all that said, try a little entrepreneurship,(that means working for yourself,for money). i.e. hand made Christmas Cards, 6 to a box (and you can make the box) - $5.00 - fancy note paper, make it on the computer, (make the box) 20 sheets (small) $5.00 - how about jewelry - you can buy all the stuff at the Dollar Store. The craft book you can borrow from the library. So there are some ideas - ps - talk to your teachers - see if they need help, shopping, wrapping, decorating, but make sure They know your looking to get paid. Oh - if your a good student, you can tutour lower grade kids and get paid.

Without a higher degree is always harder to find good, lucrative jobs these days, since the job competition is intense. However, you can try clerical job at your city hall or as a clerical typist at your local hospital and company who would offer similar job fields. I think this is a good idle job you can seek to embark on.

You do not need a degree in most cases, but the individual company that you want to work for may require one.  Its a great field, but the market is changing and a lot of the refi market is done.
