- Business Insider spoke to three people who are making a living without a bachelor's degree.
- They said they're earning liveable wages, and they're grateful not to have student debt.

Heather didn't want to be a doctor or a nurse, but she wanted to work in the medical field — partly inspired by the "Grey's Anatomy" she watched growing up and partly because she saw it as "an active and rewarding career."
Her dream came true — she now works as an MRI technologist making about $36 an hour.
