Which well-paying jobs require only a high school diploma?

I'm trying to assess my options for better-paying jobs once I graduate high school. What are some jobs that only require a high school diploma but still offer a good salary?

There are several well-paying jobs that do not require a college degree and only a high school diploma. Here are a few examples:

1. Postal Service Mail Carriers: They sort and deliver mail for the United States Postal Service. They earn quite a decent salary with a high school diploma and some on-the-job training.

2. Transportation, Storage and Distribution Managers: They manage logistics within businesses. The experience in related roles is often required, so this might be a role you work up to.

3. Commercial Pilots: Not to be confused with airline pilots, commercial pilots may fly crop dusters, tour helicopters, and charter flights. They may require some flight training.

4. Elevator Installers and Repairers: They install, fix, and maintain elevators, escalators, moving walkways, and other lifts. This job requires an apprenticeship after obtaining a high school diploma.

5. Detectives and Criminal Investigators: They gather facts and collect evidence for criminal cases. Some are uniformed officers, detectives usually work in plainclothes.

6. Power Plant Operators: They control the systems that generate and distribute electric power. They typically need some long-term on-site training after high school.

The salary for these roles varies based on location, specific role, and level of experience. But it's worth noting that while these jobs don't require a college degree, they do often require on-the-job training or work experience in a related field. Moreover, they are competitive, and higher positions may require advanced training or apprenticeships.

Remember, also, that while income is important, job satisfaction and growth opportunities should also factor into your decision.
