    A train driver with no qualifications/ experience, interesting.

    You don't need qualifications to be a train driver and it's hard to see where you can get experience from (yeah I know you can play train drivers on the weekend - link).

    Be an MP.

    They appear to be experienced and qualified in absolutely nothing. Minimum £67k a year and everything you buy is classed as an expense.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    You obviously have no real knowledge of MPs. I have 4 former colleagues/ friends who are MPs (across 3 parties)

    They all took a significant PAY DROP to become an MP (one had the exact same job as me when elected so I know to a penny how much they earned) . For a graduate in their 50s then £67K is a no a high salary. Most MPs have skills and experience that would command a much higher salary in the wider world of employment

    A family in rented accommodation with 2 children get the equivalent of £40,000 with salary and working family benefits.
    June challenge £100 a day £3161.63 plus £350 vouchers plus £108.37 food/shopping saving

    July challenge £50 a day. £ 1682.50/1550

    October challenge £100 a day. £385/£3100

    Let's hope the OP has managed to find a suitable job in the last 2 years.

    For all jobs, but especially ones which are more attractive (perhaps because they pay more) you need to persuade the recruiter to hire you, rather than any of the other people who fancy a well paid job. What are your strong points compared to other job seekers? Sometimes this is qualifications, sometimes other skills or abilities, and sometimes it is willingness to put up with conditions few other people want.

  • Since this thread was posted TWO YEARS AGO, the OP has moved on from trying to find non-skilled employment. He is now interested solely in becoming rich! :eek:

    I drove a taxi for over 25yrs. Sometimes not a very nice job 'cos you have to work long, unsociable hours and you have to let deadbeats in your Cab, but you decide how much you want to earn, and it's nearly all in cash.
    But then nobody is going to give you the likes of 'sick' pay or holiday pay.
