Computer Programmer
A programmer can work as a freelancer or as part of a team writing code for proprietary equipment, computers, and even mobile apps. In most cases, experience is better than a four-year degree. You can even take coding courses for free or at a low cost like GitHub, AGupieWare, Udemy, or Coursera. Programmers can earn about $82,240 annually but depending on your level of experience and the languages you chose to specialize in, you can easily make over $100,000 a year.
