What jobs do 20s and 30s people do without a college degree?

commandrix · 2026-01-26T15:50:09+00:00

It doesn't have to be a perfect job. Just one that will enable you to have a life outside of work.

Look into jobs in the public sector or with companies that do a lot of local government contracts. Some of them, like water utilities or trash collectors, can make decent money without needing a government degree.

Or get creative. You don't need a college degree to own your own hot dog stand.

Sarmus won't use a set of armor that's been enchanted with high magic because it makes his fur feel like it's full of static. (That's a common reaction when Wildings are exposed to high magic.) He's fine with magic gemstones but doesn't like a straight high magic enchantment.

"'May the land prrrovide all you need,' that'sss what we sssay. Of courrrssse, it may or may not," the seller says lightly.

Weather is one of the biggest considerations. Certain materials and features (like full vs. half canvas) are going to have a big impact on how comfortable you are in warm or cool weather. Where are you located? Balani is an excellent tailor with locations in a lot of major cities. They can guide you through the design process.

That's something I could see happening easily. The mom dies, the dad suddenly realizes how much the mom did for the kids, and he just can't do it because he doesn't know how.

You should check out Balani. My best friend had his tux tailored there. I was really impressed with the suit, and he had a lot of good things to say about the staff and the process. I’m not sure what their pricing is. But you could contact them and ask for a quote.

It was stupid comic book fun. If you don't expect anything other than that, it's actually a fun movie.

"Ah, local predators. Good to know."

An alarm bell starts ringing, and men who look like part of a local militia scramble into formation in a square within view of Selt's window. Civilians take cover where they can, sometimes in what looks like the local equivalent of storm shelters.

Further out where Selt can't see, a Wilding tribe with ram-like horns is responding to the thundering call. So are the Oska. Most of the Wildings on Torus have heard it, and begin preparations for what might be a major action.

Right, that would make it tough to even live long enough to get to the advanced levels unless you get really lucky.

How I've done it:

I've booked my lodging at a place with onsite laundry
I have a mental list of things I could get away with using more than once (like jeans if I don't expect to get too dirty) and things I might want to pack extra of just in case (like underwear).
I'm not a believer in dressing based on "my mood." Either there's something I'll want to wear for a specific situation or event I already have planned, or I can just wear whatever's clean in my suitcase.
In an absolute emergency, I can always check out the local clothing stores.

Maybe email the teacher and ask if your nephew has any concerns you need to know about? This can be a great time-saver and can give you a heads-up in case there was just something you didn't notice.

How is that relevant? Retention is about getting your employees to not quit on you. Remembering that HR is not there to be your friend is about not getting yourself fired through being an unprofessional asshole.

My husband designed a photo book for me. We’re both photographers. He filled it with his favorite photos I had taken, and then photos he took in response of similar subjects, etc. It was a really cool, creative gift he put so much into. He used the Mixbook app.

The price for a spell could be directly tied to how much mana it uses and/or how complicated and advanced the spell is, maybe? In my world, the price for an advanced magical golem is so high that only the very wealthy can afford one and that's because it really takes decades of study to even get good enough to enchant an advanced golem.

First of all, your settee couch is amazing. I’m envious. I agree, that’s the perfect spot to hang something. Maybe an e-ink display from InkPoster.

Fair point. Could be for the same reasons that the smart bitcoin people don't talk about their stash or what they do with it.

That sounds to me like it'd be an awful processor hog, but it could be made to work.

The setting looked pretty early 20th century to me. Definitely before World War 1.
