1. Commercial pilot
A commercial pilot is someone who flies but also navigates airplanes, helicopters and other air vehicles. They work according to previously made schedule and not just for transporting people and cargo, but charter flights and rescue operations are also their duties. They spend most of the time away from home, as this type of transport is made for longer distances. Even though everyone wants their job to be close to their home, maybe the median annual salary of amazing $105 780 will make you change your mind, as this job takes the first place on our list of high paying jobs without a degree.
