Indeed, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that in the course of 2014, 8 out of 10 fastest growing careers including firefighting, health technology, automobile repair, plumbing, etc., won’t require a college degree. 

Some of the Career options that do not require a formal bachelor’s degree include-
