Crucial to our everyday lives, this world provides us with electricity to power our homes and businesses, clean water, and let’s not forget cellular and internet services. If working in an office isn’t for you, consider becoming a power line installer and repairer or a telecommunication equipment installer, mostly spent working outside. These careers only require a high school degree, as do power plant operators and water treatment plant operators. Some energy & utilities careers do require up to a bachelor’s, such as occupational health and safety specialists.
