Best Things to Do in Orlando for FREE

Orlando is famous for its world-class theme parks, restaurants, and annual events. If you are looking for things to do in Orlando but are on a tight budget, you might be taken aback by the price for these attractions.

Although the experience may be well worth it, if you go on an unplanned splurge on just any attraction that suits your fancy or get carried away shopping for souvenirs or dining in restaurants, you might end up going over your budget or going home with a huge credit card bill.

Orlando is filled with lots of fun things to do - FOR FREE - if you just know where to look.

What are the Highest Paying Jobs Without a Degree in Orlando?

Are you looking for the highest paying job without a degree in Orlando, here’s some good news. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 8 of the 10 fastest-growing occupations through 2014 do not require a college degree.

Here is a list of high-paying jobs that don’t require a college degree (based on a report on the median wages in 2013 by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics). For most of the entry-level jobs in these fields, all you will need is a high school diploma and your GED.

Many of these employers offer on-the-job training, although some prefer to hire candidates with work experience. Even if these jobs do not require a college degree, having one can still make you more competitive.

Note: The median wages listed below are not necessarily what you will earn. It can go above or below depending on the employer, level of training, training, experience, and location.

Employment in this field is projected to drop by 19% from 2012-2022 because of the continuous upgrades in technology that allow the agricultural sector to produce more with less workers. However, agricultural managers will continue to have more opportunities since owners of agricultural lands do not usually live in these properties, so they rely on the expertise of agricultural managers to run their farms and ranches and maintain their businesses. The median annual salary in this sector is $69,300 per year while the median rate per hour is $33.32.
