My recommendation would be to look into government work, but I'm only familiar with my state, California, so I can't give any specific recommendations.

But as an example, working for the State of California, we have a position called Staff Services Analyst (SSA). You meet the requirements for it:

Equivalent to completion of the 12th grade; and

Four years of experience performing analytical, technical, clerical, and/or customer service duties. Academic education from an accredited college/university may be substituted for the required experience on a year-for-year basis.

And range C starts at $55k and caps at $68k. And from there, you're able to promote further, depending on what direction you want to go.

I say all of that to say, look into working for the government for your state. Plenty of positions that let you substitute education requirements with job experience, so you can keep moving up once you get in.
