What reasonably paid jobs are out there that require no qualifications?

I'm have loads of qualification's in IT but in the north jobs are very few and far between so i work for a distribution company on nights preparing the vehicles for morning, £20k but my missus has a financial job that pays very well so i say look for a rich women.

Yes, the market is alot worse off than it was but if you are decent at it you can do alright in my experience. Like i said (in the bit you decided not to quote) "it won't be easy though", I was simply offering the guy an option of an unskilled job that he could walk into with the potential of earning more than £7 an hour, like he asked.

Recrutiment Agencies are crappy at the best of times but they keep offering me jobs that are way too far away from where I live as its all they've got!

I blame the media really. They (with the help of the jittery financial numpties) have talked/scared us into this!

Still think you are right Coldo??? and as Dancossie says.... without experience, skills or training... he wouldn't even get an interview let alone a job!
