Hey there, I'm hoping to work in Anaheim after high school and need to find jobs that pay fairly well for high school graduates. Any recommendations on industries or specific roles?
One popular industry in Anaheim is tourism and hospitality. With attractions like Disneyland, hotels, restaurants, and other service-related establishments, numerous positions cater to high school graduates. You might consider roles like front desk manager, concierge, guest services coordinator, or even themed entertainment positions within the park itself.
The healthcare industry is also another potential sector. Though many roles require additional certification, there are opportunities like a certified nursing assistant (CNA), medical assistant, or phlebotomist that require shorter training programs rather than a full college degree.
Sales is another potential field to look into. Whether it's retail, car sales, or even real estate (though this last one would require obtaining a license), these jobs often do not require more than a high school diploma and can provide significant income potential based on performance.
Lastly, trade jobs like electronics technicians, plumbers, or electricians are often overlooked but can offer decent wages. Some trade jobs will require you to undergo vocational training or apprenticeship programs.
Remember that starting salaries may not be as high as you're hoping, but with time, dedication, and experience, you could see a significant increase in your pay. Having a clear career plan can help you make strategic moves to increase your earning potential over time. Good luck with your job search!
