What are some careers in which one can earn $50 K / year (USA) without going to school for a long time?
I need to make more money, but I'm in my 30's and don't want to spend another 4 years of my life in school. Any ideas?

The mortgage industry... specialize in the foreclosure market... it'll be strong for the next 4-5 yrs.

used car sales and real estate sales in CA
4 :
Real Estate or Auto sales if you're good at selling. A business owner can earn that much or more, if they have the right product/service.
5 :
Almost any "commission only" sales job where you are selling a good product people need will allow you to write your own check. And the only skills you need are honesty & knowledge of your product and your competitors' products. Read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, and go be a car salesman. Anyone walking into a car dealership has already decided to buy a car; If you help them find what they want (instead of trying to talk them into what your manager thinks they should buy) you will close the sale. And you can do that as often as you want until you have all the money you want. The same is true of real estate. Things may be slow now, but people will always need somewhere to live. Good luck. (You might also consider making the same money you are now, but spending less. That's a much easier way to amass a fortune. Trust me!)

Work at a plant (chemical, food, a refinery) as an operator. They make great money, especially with overtime.

Go to a technical school for about a year and learn a trade. Welding, air conditioning, plumbing, electrician, milwright, they all make well over 50 grand a year. You may have to get a little dirt on your hands and sweat on your brow, but it's well worth it. All of these fields are in demand, and it won't slow down.
