Listen… I dropped out at 20, had zero rich uncles, and still cracked ₹45 lakh+ in finance by 27 — all without a single degree on my wall. In 2025, the finance world is quietly desperate for skilled people who can do the work instead of flashing a fancy MBA.
Here are the 10 jobs paying ₹15–80 lakh+ in India (or $80K–$400K+ globally) that literally check your skills, not your degree.
1. Insurance Agent / Pos (Point of Salesperson)
Average: ₹8–25 lakh/year Top 1%: ₹1 crore+ (yes, really) How? Clear IRDA IC-38 exam (40 hours online, ₹1,500 fee). My friend’s mom started at 42 → sells LIC policies → ₹3.8 crore premium last year → ₹95 lakh commission.
2. Mortgage Loan Officer / DSA
Average: ₹12–40 lakh/year Banks like HDFC, ICICI, Bajaj pay 0.5–1.5% commission per home loan. Close one ₹1 crore loan → pocket ₹1 lakh instantly. 2025 hack: Register as DSA on Paisabazaar/Bankbazaar → leads flow automatically.
3. Forex Trader (Proprietary Desk)

7. Options Trader (Market Maker Firms)

8. Credit Card / Personal Loan Sales (Field + Tele)

No college. No “papa ka connection”. Just skills + certificates + balls.
