Good jobs for people who don’t speak English: 12 to check out
According to the census, one in five people in the US speak a language other than English at home. Here are 12 good jobs for people who don't speak English!
Lyft / Uber driver
If you don’t know how to speak English, but you are an expert behind the wheel, then this option is perfect for you. You only need to have a valid license to register at the platform of your preference. This type of work is paid according to the number of rides you offer per day or the number of hours you work. On average, the salary is usually between $25,000 and $59,000 a year.
Door Dash / Uber Eats / Insta-Cart
Food delivery allows you to set your own hours and have practically minimal contact with customers, since you will only need to register on a platform to obtain orders. The salary ranges between $10 and $23 per hour. This job stands out for being a flexible job for people who don’t speak English thanks to automated processes.
Factory work
Factory jobs may not be the best paying, but the communication demands are often lower than other jobs. This is especially helpful for people who don’t know, or are still learning, the language. Factory workers earn an average maximum of $21 per hour, and do not have to interact with customers. In these jobs, workers spend more time performing specific tasks that do not require verbal or written communication.
Dog walker
No english? No problem! If you like dogs, the doors will magically open for you to gradually build up a customer base who will pay you up to $29 per hour. With flexible hours, dog walkers don’t need to be fluent in the language, as their most important task will be to ensure that the animals are happy and well exercised.
Restaurant kitchen staff
Employees of fast food establishments or other restaurants earn between $8 and $12 an hour. In general they are not required to have a total command of the language, other than to understand specific instructions (which in many cases are also in other languages like Spanish). In some positions it will be necessary to speak English, but in others, like dishwashing, the demands will be minimal.
House and hotel cleaning
Cleaning work usually pays well regardless of whether it’s performed independently or under contract with an established company. In any case, the salary can be as high as $42,000 per year. Cleaning and organizing skills are the primary requirements. Most employers will not mind if you don’t speak fluent English.
Tour guides
You don’t know how to speak English but you do feel like working and you know your city? Become a tour guide! Find travelers who speak your native language and learn the most interesting facts about your city. A tour guide should have organizational and conflict resolution skills, so if you want to earn money quickly and easily, this could be one of your best options.
Locksmith
Most likely, this profession will always be in demand and it allows you to set your own hours. Even better, you can earn a salary, whether fixed or by the hour, without knowing English! The high demand for locksmiths goes beyond learning to open locks in emergency situations. Little by little, you can learn to specialize in the repair of items and the use of tools that will raise your price to the highest level.
Child care
Taking care of children requires a lot of effort, but it is profitable even when you don’t have a certificate that guarantees your knowledge of the English language. If you are interested in this job, you can start by contacting members of your community who speak the same language as you. The payment that you will receive will be extremely attractive, and can range from $8 to $20 dollars per hour, depending on your type of clientele.
Retail stores
Working in retail shops or in supermarkets is another excellent idea for jobs for people who don’t speak English. In addition, you can gradually work your way up to better positions. These include jobs like cleaning, warehousing, cooking, cashiering, and even customer service in your native language. No matter what type of store, it’s a great option for Hispanics who only speak Spanish.
Laundry
Working in a laundry will open the doors to a new world where you could earn a salary of between $8 and $14 per hour and where you will not be required to speak English. Among the advantages of this position is that employers don’t request documentation that endorses specific or specialized studies, although you probably do require prior training.
Commercial trucker
Not speaking English will never be an impediment to getting ahead in America – if you know how to drive transport vehicles. Consider getting a commercial trucker’s license. This position offers, on average, a salary of between $12 and $24 dollars an hour. The skills required are primarily obtaining a commercial driver’s license and heavy lifting.
