I left school at 16 with 10 GCSEs and haven't returned to education since then. What good career options are available to people like me without degrees?

what non-degree related skills do you have?
Careers with better career progression and/or better salaries generally require specialist skills (whether developed through third level education, further education, apprenticeship, or experience).

It's never too late to learn new tricks. A degree it only useful if you know what you want to do in life (Vet, Doctor, physicist, Engineer etc.) Those are the only people I know who actually use their degrees.
What do you want out of life / job? There are plenty of interesting and well paid jobs that do not need degrees. Although advancement normally requires some form of further qualifications and experience.
I pretty much fell in to a decent company that pays for tuition fees for employees to pursue knowledge and qualification that is relevant to their profession.0 -

What have you been doing since school?
If you've got 12 years of solid experience in a specific field, you may not need a degree.
Experience and life skills often own book skills with no experience.0
