good jobs that don't require any qualifications?

I think alot of people are confusing jobs where you don't need a qualification as such but you do need natural talent and skill i.e. footballer

Yes they are insanely well paid but nobody on this site is capable of doing what they do week in, week out to the same standard.

I think you're missing a sense of humour

I could be a hoe to the required standard, or a pimp....

And maybe even sewage worker.... I'd be in the right place to be chucking up...

Jobs are generally well-paid for a reason, and it's a simple one - supply and demand. You need to work out what you can supply that is in demand. If you can only supply things that are not in demand, you won't see the big money. Sector doesn't matter much, so get creative.

Ladies of the night provide a service that has a demand, as do event production managers, as do focus-puller camera assistants, and software developers. None of these require university education, you can pick up the skills on the job, but you do need to have aptitude and apply yourself. This means a lot of work.

If you're prepared to apply yourself, to start off working for free so you can pick up enough skills to get paid, then you can get onto a good career path earning a grand or more a week. Impress people, be good and be diligent, you will find good work.

Well, technically, IT

You could get a decent job without qualifications (my old manager had none). However, you do need experience.

Or do we need to find a well paid job which requires no experience OR qualifications?

I seem to recall that John Major didn't have any qualifications. Although he was a spectacularly awful Prime Minister he got paid as well as the good ones. So if you have neither brains nor qualifications nor any talent for anything, join the Tory party and you might get lucky.

The requirements to join the police and fire services are pretty high: I understand that fire men and women need a degree to be considered.

It is easy to get a job as a ticket collector, but I would not call that a good job.
