No graduate degree, no problem. These full-time City of Boise jobs need up to a bachelor’s
Finding a well-paid job without years in the field or a master’s degree seems to get more challenging by the year. For many, it feels like a comfortable job is locked behind either going thousands of dollars into debt for a post-graduate degree or starting at the bottom and slowly working your way up.
But it doesn’t have to be that way, especially in Boise.
The city currently has about two dozen openings for full-time jobs that require, at most, a bachelor’s degree and, in many instances, simply an associate degree or a high school diploma.
