Default Good jobs without a degree?

If someone doesn't have a degree but wants to earn a good wage what would the people of Money, Money, Money reccommend?

There's a thread about it already but: Air traffic controller sounds like a viable option. Just depends on what you are into. And since you haven't told shit all, I leave you with this

You could try getting into the trades. Although for some you do need to get certain tickets and schooling. Well here you do at least.

Telemarketer.

If you want to sit on your ass all day, its really an easy job. My friend makes $10/hr and just does surveys over the phone.

I wouldn't consider $10/ph a good job.

You can get into the trades, I know carpenters in the UK on 900 stirling a week. It's hard work though. Another good option is civil service. Most branches will take you on as a trainee and teach you what you need to know. You can work your way up to higher levels with much better pay. In some cases year 10 will be enough, but year twelve is probably preferred.

how old are you? and what sort of work do you want to do?

If you are willing to kill people, and risk your own life for money, then there are way better ways than whoring yourself out to the government.

I'm 21, I'd be open to most sensible suggestions for work, as long as it pays well. I'm currently doing an Engineering degree and finding it hard, so I'm just looking at other options, in case I don't finish my degree.

I'd be more than willing to do physical work. Office work is fine, too.

I don't really have any skills as such, I'm just above average at most things, I have better than average school grades, a-level grades and such, fairly good on computers, fairly strong and athletic and quite good at manual work. I've done a few jobs since leaving school but nothing too technical.
