With insufficient economic needs, it is not uncommon for high school graduates to decide to work immediately. However, with only a basic diploma, many of them end up in low positions with mediocre salaries. Such as internet cafe attendants, storekeepers, cashiers, and others. 

Due to the limitations of their diplomas, it feels difficult to get jobs with high positions and large salaries. But it turns out there are still jobs for high school graduates with quite high salaries, even almost comparable to those with a bachelor's degree. What are they?

1. Sales

Many people look down on this job, because besides having to persuade buyers, this job also requires you to meet sales targets. However, if this job is done well, you can earn a substantial income between 3 to 10 million per month, plus bonuses of course. This job does not require employees to have a college degree; just good communication skills and a supportive appearance are enough for you to be accepted. 

2. Heavy equipment operator

Working as a heavy equipment operator is indeed full of challenges, from high concentration levels to the risk of workplace accidents. This job also does not require a college diploma but is quite promising for high school graduates. You only need an SIO certificate (Operator License) because with an SIO, you can earn around 7 million per month.

3. Electrical cable installation and maintenance officer

This job also offers high salaries and does not require a college diploma, making it very suitable for vocational school graduates in electrical majors. Before starting this job, prospective workers are usually given training to be more competent in carrying out their tasks.  With this position, you can earn a salary ranging from 5-6 million each month.

4. Post office head and supervisor

As the head of the office, the salary you will receive is certainly higher than that of the employees. This position offers a salary ranging from 6-7 million. However, although it does not require a high school diploma, this position requires you to have 5 years of work experience. So, if your work experience has reached 5 years, you can try this job!

5. Company operational staff

Becoming a company operational staff does not require a bachelor's degree or work experience. However, the salary you receive is quite high! Especially if the company you work for is an international scale company. The task of the company operational staff is to coordinate the company's operational activities such as training and planning. With these job responsibilities, you can earn more than 4 million a month.
