    I'll take that as your admission of error.

    You really are not making a lot of sense on this thread. Self employed? Your own boss? Your own company? A complex job working for someone else that needs qualifications...

    No-one has a clue what you are actually asking.

    no you can take it that you're sad to spend your time posting on this thread as you clearly don't want to help.

    I will save my time and say I will not be replying to your posts again, another one for the ignore list.

    Tried to help, but you aren't giving anyone enough information to actually assist.

    You haven't really replied to anyone's post at all.
    I note you still haven't answered anyone's queries regarding what vague interests/relevant field you would be interested in. If you don't even know that then how can anyone possibly answer meaningfully?

    I'm more now reading this thread in fascination to see if anyone can figure out what is being asked, other than to list as many random jobs as possible.

    "How long will it take these suckers to realise that I am nothing but a troll?" has my vote.

    If the OP ever does read this - a few of us figured it out when the OP started trying to give people 'advice' on employment matters. So the answer is - not very long at all.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    I think you are mixing up starting a business that needs no qualifications and being self employed.

    Doctors Although they bear the risk of loss/profit, they are not really self employed as they received allocated funding based broadly on a per capita basis.
    Accounts If you mean Accountants - Those that take a professional qualification will also need evidenced work experience to support the qualification, hence you can't get there through a self-employed route.
    Graphic designers You don't need a qualification - you can just sell your work
    IT Aagain, you can do a lot of IT work on the basis of a portfolio of skills; there is no single "IT" qualification - what are you thinking of? maybe a door-to-door type IT bod? Or a SFIA Grade 7 Application Development role?
    etc

    All need qualifications but can be self employed.

    So thanks for you post but it brings into question your intelligence not mine.

    and to the other posters that made the same point... :rotfl:

    I did refer to intelligence, but not to question yours, simply to point out that you're not applying any sort of limit (either de-minimus or de-maximus) to your question. Your rebuke really, really stung though. In fact it's made me realise that you must be far more intelligent than I am. That must be why you are struggling to work out what career to take, with so many options open to you. :cool:

    Work for one of three largest engineering consultancies in the UK.

    You need a degree in civil engineering, a masters and many people have PhDs. About 5-8 years university study is the average.

    After a period of transition into employment the best will filter upwards, spending many hours outside of work with periods of intensive study for a professional chartership.

    And if you succeed, you'll be on £30-£35k within 10-15 years.

    No brainer.

    I have already posted in this thread why my interests are not relevant, I'm not trying to be difficult but when people knit pick why a Doctor is really not self employed is a waste of their time and mine, in answering, I'm sure you got the point I was making but still felt making the correction was some how worthwhile!

    Oh dear, doing your best impression of "How to Make Friends and Influence People" again? How many people do you have on that Ignore list?

    Not sure thats a no brainer, 5-8 years of study followed by 10-15 years of working your way up to be on 30-35k :eek:

    Yeah it was tongue in cheek, I'm just sitting here in the office at 18:10 on a friday night wondering why I spent all that time studying for the last 15 years. Don't come into this industry.
