    Civil Service desk jobs don't seem too stressful, don't seem to need too many qualifications and are pretty well paid for what they do. Don't know how accessable they are though. You probably have to know someone in there to get a job.
    No you dont. Just do the ****ing exam. If you cant pass that dont resign your village idiot post.

    There are no entry requirements to an apprenticeship.

    Not like you need 600 in the leaving and a diverse extra curricular activities portfolio.

    4 years of low wages and voila.

    Most jobs these days are 4 years of college min. In fact most graduates finding they need a masters by now

    Become a carer in nursing home. Lots of jobs, pays well. Couldn’t do it myself but know plenty of people who are making a decent living at it

    There's a lot to be said for construction jobs. Pay decent, keeps you fit if your willing to work and you have the end of day satisfaction of a job done well. Same can't be said for a lot of office jobs with deadlines and an always on mantra with phones and laptops.

    I found office politics tedious. Working in construction now and spending evenings on my hobbies instead of worrying about project deliveries and happy out.

    Problem in this country is the inevitable downturn. If like last time and capital spend halted completely you may make sure the mattress is well stuffed.

    Make hay now anyway

    i went the opposite way, glad to get out of the years of dirty dangerous work in all weathers, travelling all the time, in an unregulated (in reality) industry full of unscrupulous cowboys, bluffers and gangsters.

    A carer is a tough job. Long hours, not enough staff usually and take a lot of stress of the job home with you.

    I'm lucky enough my qualifications are Finance & Accounting and professional certs project related so that I can jump back into consulting in the global market when the inevitable downturn does come. But I do prefer the manual labour!

    Tipped away filling a skip today after weeks of demolition and had the tunes on. Happy out :-)

    No bubble this time though,just a lack of housing and labour.
    Neither of which are being filled.

    i worked on the buildings for a few years, then got a degree and an office job, hated it and quit very soon after. working on sites in ireland in winter is tough but id rather that than an office job any day.
