Oftentimes, when things aren’t working, it’s time for a change. And the same applies to your professional life. Maybe the path you’re taking no longer suits your needs or desires. You may be in a career rut and looking for a change, but not willing —or can’t afford —to get a whole new college degree?
Well, check out a few options that require no new school enrollment, just a bit of legwork and finesse:
Massage Therapist
Massage therapists manipulate muscles to help clients get rid of aches and pains.
What you need: Massage therapists usually complete a program that requires around 500 hours of study and experience. However, requirements vary by state, so check out your local standards before committing to a class. Preparing for this career can be a good side project while holding down a day job.

Average salary: $65,000
