Industrial production
managers oversee the
activities required to produce millions of goods in the United States
each year. While those who want to work in this field aren't required to
have a college degree, many employers prefer they do. Other employers
provide on-the-job training. Industrial production managers can earn in
excess of $40 per hour. Employers are likely to seek candidates who
have excellent
communication skills and related work experience and who are personable,
flexible, and eager to enhance their knowledge and skills through
ongoing training. Here are some openings at The

Sales Representative
If you're willing to sell anything anywhere and don't mind commission-only pay, one of the fastest way to earn a six-figure income straight out of college is by taking a job as a sales representative. A sales representative job isn't easy. It requires an ability to handle rejection, optimism, competitiveness, perseverance, and patience. Most of a sales rep's time is spent trying to find leads, developing referral networks, and following up on leads by making phone calls, visiting clients, or meeting with potential clients.
While having a
college degree is preferred, It is one of
the few jobs where you can earn a six-figure salary without even having a
high school diploma. Many companies will even accept you without
experience providing you can show enthusiasm, energy and professionalism
in your interview. Most will provide you with training and will often
provide you with a small salary until you start generating enough sales
to support yourself on a commission-only basis.When I checked this site,
the Los
Angeles Times listed over 29,000 openings for this position.
