Check out the Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace Lewennen (sp???) She writes about ways to get a "real education" by not going to school. (Things like doing apprentencships, exploring nature, doing your own projects). \n\nIt's a cool book (one I wish I had read when I was in High School!)

The only degree available in 2 years is an associates degree.  Worth having and you can usually apply your credits toward a bachelors degree at some later date.  Other than an A.A. there are several certification programs such as an E.M.T. usually these take about 1 year to complete.  Medical certificates are a good choice as well.  But you should know that workers who possess a bachelors degree or advanced Masters stand to make several hundred thousand more in their lifetime than those having less education.  It's a financial decision from start to finish and you have to really want it to succeed in business.  Good luck.

I was in this situation myself.\n\nThere are Master's degree programs that may accept applicants without a BA.  The MBA at the University of Chicago was one program, but you would need to have an exceptional background to be accepted without the undergraduate degree.\n\nMany schools have non-traditional programs that have less stringent requirements for graduation and often allow credit for life experience.  One such program is the Board of Governors Program offered at Northeastern Illinois University.\n\nAlso, schools may grant credit through the CLEP program, or their own credit by examination program.\n\nBesides earning credits, you can petition that the school waive certain requirements, or your academic adviser can waive requirements in your major.

Another alternative to avoid the bureaucracy is to teach in a setting other than a public high school.  Private schools, community colleges, for profit schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc. do not require teaching credentials and respect real world experience.

Check your local university's Education Department. The secretary will be able to provide up-to-date information concerning degree requirements and even alternative certification programs. Good luck.

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.

without a college degree, I doubt you will find a job in the biology field. people graduate college with biology degrees and still have trouble finding jobs. If possible, you should try to continue your education. \nIf University is not for you. try a junior college with a traning program. get certified as a lab tech, phamacy tech. and so on. Though becoming a doctor is nice too.\nThen the bio and math will come in handy. And higher education will show you more in these fields

technically none, all you have to do is pass the board exam in your state, you don't actually have to attend law school at all

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.

An AS in something specific, such as medical technology or automotive engineering can be a very useful degree.  An AS in something more general still shows you have better education than a high school graduate, and should help you compete with them for jobs that don't require a degree.  For example, you can probably compete for sales jobs where the product is pretty technical if you have an AS that's at all related to the product.  Of course, once you get the job you will only keep it if you can produce, but you can probably get it.

There are several routes you can take....\n\nUnfortunately, in America today there is such specific focus on specialization for a career in college, that few people understand that value of a liberal arts education.\n\nThat being said, though, here are some alternatives...\n\n1) Teacher (you've probably already figured that one out)\n2) Public Service, specifically, international diplomacy\n3) Consultant in specific region's history; may have some value to multi-national corporations seeking background and management on a specific culture\n4) Writer; tough vocation, but intellectually rewarding and can be lucrative if you gain public attention through publishing.\n5)Commentator on The History Channel and their documentaries (don't laugh - you should give it a try).\n\nAt least these are five ideas you can start with....with a bit more creativity and motivation, I bet you can find even more lucrative opportunities.\n\nGood luck! :-)
