CareerBuilder releases top jobs that don't require college degree

Truckers, techies, marketing mavens and clinicians among occupations to consider based on supply and demand

Looking for a new job in the New Year? CareerBuilder partnered with Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. to compile a list of hot jobs for 2015 based on supply and demand.

The list features occupations for which the number of jobs companies post each month significantly outpaces the number of people they're actually able to hire, showing where companies are hungry for talent and how much the positions pay.

CareerBuilder and EMSI looked at the average number of people hired per month in more than 700 occupations from January 2013 to August 2014 and compared that to the number of job postings for each occupation aggregated from online job sites for the same period.

Marketing Executive

Software Developer, Applications

Registered Nurse

Industrial Engineer

Network and Computer System Administrator
