It's always nice to be able to enjoy a meal at leisure. That said, sometimes you want to eat a great meal on the go. Michigan has plenty of good options when it comes to picking up a fast, tasty meal on the run. Now, as it turns out, the Mitten has one of the best places for "quick eats" in America.

TripAdvisor.com has put together a list of the 25 best restaurants for quick eats in the country. Tripadvisor is the "world's largest travel guidance platform," according to their official website. It offers "more than 1 billion reviews and opinions of nearly 8 million businesses, travelers turn to Tripadvisor to find deals on accommodations, book experiences, reserve tables at delicious restaurants and discover great places nearby. As a travel guidance company available in 43 markets and 22 languages, Tripadvisor makes planning easy no matter the trip type."

First, I had to look up the No. 1 best spot for quick eats in America. That honor goes to Bleecker Street Pizza in
New York City, New York. "Nonna Maria is the best slice you'll ever have! The perfect blend of sauce and cheese, and the crust is amazing," the article states. That sounds delicious, but I'm not sure if I would go to NYC just to try this pizza.

As for Michigan, we have one restaurant that made the cut. Muldoon's in Munising came in at No. 8 on the list. "Pasties with a view" and "I recommend!" were a few of the comments listed in the article. Eh Burger, also in Munising, came in at No. 24. "Great burgers (next time I'll try the fish)" and "Great burgers and outstanding fries" were two comments for that establishment. It's great to see a Michigan destination getting national recognition, especially because it involves burgers. Find the full list of the best restaurants to get quick eats in America here.

College is great for some people, but it's not for everyone. I personally enjoyed going to a four-year college and learned a lot, but there are plenty of non-college training options that enable students to make an incredible salary upon graduation.

The crew at Indeed.com has put together a list of 50 high-paying Michigan jobs that you can get without a bachelor's degree. They note that, "there are a variety of jobs in Michigan for those interested in finding a career right after high school," adding that, "these roles tend to be in the trade sectors where employees can learn from more experienced team members understanding what types of positions offer on-the-job training and immediate employment can help you accelerate your career."

The tally is based on the most up-to-date Indeed salary information. Going through this list, a few of these ideas raise an eyebrow, such as "professional blogger." I know plenty of bloggers who don't make anywhere near $86,000, but it's apparently a lucrative business for those with a large following and web traffic. Other jobs include nuclear power reactor operator, solar sales consultant and real estate broker, all of which, according to the study, make near $100,000 per year. One exciting-sounding job on the tally is a criminal investigator, who makes more than $100,000 per year, according to Indeed, and "collects evidence to help solve cases." Sounds like a fun job to me!

The Indeed study breaks down the 15 highest-paying jobs without a four-year degree and then goes on to list 19 additional high-paying jobs that don't requite a degree and 16 high-paying jobs that just require a certificate. Read on for the full list, and find more information via Indeed here.
