A six-figure paycheck without a college degree is within reach in these high-paying careers.

From elevator mechanics to commercial pilots, several skilled jobs offer median annual salaries topping $100,000, according to the latest available federal wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But skipping college doesn't mean skipping training. Many of these positions require specialized licenses, apprenticeships or years of hands-on experience.
