There’s a lot of government positions that require just high school, and pay more than typical.
But they’re annoying to apply to, and often can make you wait a long time. Look into your cities job bank, same with state/province and/or federal level.
Quite similar to how beholders reproduce.
They have a nap, dream about a beholder (besides themselves*) and poof, one is born.
*I’m not sure if this is the case.
