There’s a direct correlation between education and income. The median weekly wage for someone without a high school diploma is less than $600, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), while those with a doctoral degree earn $1,883. Every degree level up the scale from high school diploma to a PhD comes with a larger median salary, but there are plenty of jobs out there with no educational barriers.
Some are entry-level positions that involve long hours, grueling work, dangerous or at least dreary conditions, low pay, and very little room for career advancement. Others are stepping-stone jobs that pay a subsistence wage but can quickly lead to better positions. Others are real careers unto themselves, offering a living wage and then some. Nearly one in 10 of the jobs on this list pay more than the average annual wage across all jobs. The average annual wage for all workers in the United States is $53,490.
Stacker used data from the 2019 edition of the BLS’Occupational Outlook Handbook, updated in April 2020, to compile a list of 94 jobs that do not have formal education requirements. These jobs are ranked by their average annual income, and ties are broken by the number of employees who work that job. BLS jobs with “all other” in the name were excluded since these are aggregates of several jobs, and salary data is less accurate than for specific jobs. Jobs that do not have a specific average annual salary were also excluded.
Jobs with the lowest educational barriers tend to pay the lowest wages with the fewest benefits. They also represent a hugely disproportionate chunk of the jobs lost to the coronavirus shutdown. Due to the BLS releasing data for the previous calendar year, these figures might not reflect economic changes caused by COVID-19.
The restaurant industry, in particular, was pummeled by the shutdown, and the future is uncertain for those who made their living in it. Bar and restaurant positions accounted for 60% of all job losses in March alone. Since then, total job losses in the industry far exceeded projections of 5 million to 7 million when the crisis started. That’s important to note because 10 of the first 20 jobs on this list—the lowest-paying but most common and easiest to get—are in the food and beverage industry.

[ 15 historic decisions from the latest Supreme Court term
](
[See full slideshow »](
The 2019-2020 term of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) involved a number of significant decisions ranging from President Donald Trump’s taxes to abortion rights. It was also the first full term with two Trump nominees seated on the bench: Justice Neil Gorsuch, nominated just days after Trump took office in 2017; and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, confirmed the following year after a contentious U.S. Senate hearing involving accusations of sexual misconduct brought against him by a university professor.
Despite assumptions that the judges formed what would be a 5-4 conservative majority, the judges (often by a one-vote margin) kept to the center and reflected public opinion 80% of the time, according to a2020 survey from Stanford researchers. As the Supreme Court goes into recess through early October, Stacker compiled a list of key term decisions and their consequences. Information comes from theU.S. Supreme Court websitealong with a variety of news reports, legal analyses, and court documents.
EachSupreme Court termruns from the first Monday in October through the Sunday before the first Monday the following October. These terms are broken out into intervals: sittings, when Supreme Court Justices deliver opinions and hear cases; and recesses, when justices consider cases and write opinions. The court historically takes recess from June or early July through the start of the next term.
Some decisions were indeed victories for religious conservatives and the Trump administration, including the court allowing employers to be exempt on religious and moral grounds from including women’s birth control in workers’ health insurance coverage. Other decisions were less expected, like the court striking down limits on access to abortion in a Louisiana law as unconstitutional.
In the most politically charged pair of cases, the president won and lost. The court ordered him to disclose his financial records to New York prosecutors, rejecting his argument of immunity, but said he did not have to turn them over to Congress just yet, making it unlikely the public will get a glimpse of the records before Election Day.
Keep reading to learn more about 15 historic decisions from the latest Supreme Court term.
