The world’s 10 most in demand jobs that don’t require a degree

The coronavirus pandemic has undoubtedly turned the global job market upside down and currently many young people are debating whether college is even worth it anymore. While the investment in education will always ultimately pay off, many job seekers now opt to upskill through taking short courses and earning certificates upon completion. 

A report from the United Nations’ International Labour Organization has estimated that the number of working hours lost in the second quarter of 2020 is expected to be the equivalent of 400 million full-time jobs.

In the U.K., for example, LinkedIn said that the jobs market is currently three times more competitive when compared to the same period last year.

In a recent report published by LinkedIn, the professional social network highlighted the most in demand roles in the global economy by analyzing job postings data on its platform.

It also found learning courses for these positions to be accessible for people without a college degree and that people without a university education were employed in these occupations.
