Is there such a thing as as a job in allied health that pays somewhat decently and doesn't require a license/certification/BA? Even an AA may be hard for this person.
She can easily get a TTI kind of BA but can't sit through 2 years of health classes in college.

You may be able to become an ultrasound technician. I am sure it has clinicals though.

It's a very intensive certification program.

CNA
Maybe hearing aid specialist
Phlebotomist
Pharmacy tech
Medical billing
Not really easy to find a combo of pay with not much schooling in a field that’s not like real estate, mortgages etc

CNA? ( nurses aid). Phlebotomy. Surgical tech.
Why are you/ she looking specifically Healthcare? What about it appeals to you?
Figure that out and figure which direction you want to go ..

Medical assistant and phlebotomy require no schooling or a few hr certification at most. Pay isn't great though.

She has thought about phlebotomy but all the phlebotomists we see are lower class.

We live in a city with a large African American population. While I see diversity in most areas of healthcare, somehow the phlebotomists seem to be the most crass and least educated.

So phlebotomists are uneducated (they are. That's why they're mentioned as an option here) and crass (maybe?). But why mention African Americans? I'm getting insulted, and I'm not even black.

They often are. There are African Americans who are highly intelligent and educated but many aren’t and those are definitely over represented in this profession. Similarly home health aides and low level nursing home aides are predominantly immigrants and African Americans. The ones my grandma had were great and we are so grateful but there’s no use sugarcoating the facts; it is a profession with a low barrier to entry in terms of both intellectual ability and education.
It’s reasonable to assume that a field that attracts this demographic is unlikely to have significant opportunities for advancement or upward mobility. It simply a fact, at least in large urban areas.

You’re asking for a double standard- a job she can get with no education that isn’t populated by uneducated people.

Who cares? I went to nursing school and most of my classmates were african american. You want a job with little education you will get less educated people.
Also while you may be in a program with less educated people, that is not who you are spending all your time with once you are working. Healthcare is very much a team and you work with drs, nurses, technicians, pts, ots, etc.
Phlebotomy or CNA sound like they might be best.
