In today’s society, because of education inflation, having only a college degree may not help you get a job with a high salary. While there are many people who don’t actually have a particular career path inclination, as long as the salary is good enough, people choose that path. In fact, there are three major industries that are not only famous, but also have low entry requirements. Even if you just graduated from high school or even without a high school degree, you have the opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Banking Industry

Backing industries is one of the industries that college students love the most. In fact, it is more than just college students, middle school graduates can also start with entry-level positions in the banking industry and advance step by step in the financial industry. Many positions such as customer service officers, general banking officer, junior CDD/KYC officer, settlement officer, etc. do not require a college degree, and are eligible for high school graduates. If you have sufficient experience, you can even waive the minimum academic requirements for various professional licenses. Details can be found in other articles on licensing conditions by 2CExam.

Insurance Industry

Although the insurance industry in Hong Kong is sometimes related to negative news, such as Joseph Lam Chok, becoming a hot topic in the city. In fact, there will be negative news in every industry. As long as you uphold professionalism, understand the products you provide before selling insurance to customers, be yourself instead of abusing bad business practices. On the contrary, you are providing external assistance for your friends to tide over the difficulties and ups and downs of life. In addition to the clients that we 2CExam regularly reach out to, the insurance industry also has many examples of high-profile successful individuals and low-educated individuals who are able to find their way out.

Hung Chung Yam

Hong Kong’s former well-known chief cyclist Hung Chung Yam has already entered the society before entering high school. In between his career as an athlete and insurance, he resolutely gave up cycling due to the rapid development of insurance business, and has made great strides in AIA.

Andy Tai Chi Wai

Recently, he has become the division manager of AIA. In addition, there are also many people who are unclear about their future, or who are not highly educated, or who have lost their way for various reasons. After embarking on the road of insurance, it is not difficult to find that insurance sales is actually a good choice. Another example is Mr. Lung Chee Ming George, Senior Administrative Regional Director of Manulife Financial, who was also being interviewed before. 

Real Estate Industry

For the real estate industry, the education requirements are much lower, and only the secondary form five level  is required to meet the licensing requirements. It can also be a choice for people with a low education level. Moreover, the monthly rent is about HK$10,000 in Hong Kong, if you can sell a luxury house, the one-time commission will be enough for a few months living.
