Getting a government job with no college degree?


I am in search for a government job but have no college degree. I have a ton of professional work experience doing this and that along with a few college courses taken. What is the best place to start and what am I qualified for? I live in West Virginia, about an hour from the DC area. My mom works for the government and said they have a temp agency they go through. Any ideas? Thank you.

There are many govt jobs available without college degrees...I am just not sure what level of govt agency you are talking about. You have city, county, state, and federal. I started working for a county agency right out of high school with no college degree. I started in a major entry level (mail clerk) but was able to work my way up thru the ranks by work experience in lieu of college courses. Takes a little longer as those with college degrees qualify quicker for promotions than you do. But you could be taking classes at nite during your employment. Alot of agencies will even flex your schedule to accomodate taking classes that will benefit your current position. I think overall you might want to look at more local agencies like city and county. And don't be afraid take an entry level position! Even though you may have tons of experience...get yourself in the door. Many promotions are open for current employees only...not to the public...so just get in! I worked for 17 yrs for a county agency...no college degree..hustling my tail...and making pretty decent money for no degree by working my way up the ladder. Best of luck to you!

You have to make some realistic decision on what kind of position you want and are qualified for. "Government job" is too vague.
