What's the highest paying job you can get without a trade or degree?

With that kind of outlook, I can only assume you're a self made zillionaire too...

Bill Gates is an exception, not the norm.
You're sadly out of touch with the way things are out there for the typical uneducated man or woman these days.

You asked what is the highest level attainable...not the average or likely income level. Of course he is the exception, just like the person with a Bachelor's degree in liberal arts flipping burgers is....
There have always been exceptions who will succeed......and who will fail. Your question didn't ask about the "typical" uneducated man or woman...only the highest level.

You might want to re-read the question if you're going to be quoting me.
