    What job that does NOT require a degree would you like to do?
    If you didn't have a degree and perhaps as a result this means you had to look at lower paying jobs, what job would you be happy to work in for at least 5 or 10 years?


    EDIT: Not saying all non graduate jobs are lower paid, some , quite a few rather are higher paid than graduate professions

    Air traffic control/pilot.
    I kinda think being a hairdresser would be a right laugh. They always seem to have such fun talking to the clients.

    I'd want to be a footballer. Not just to defeat the purpose of the OP's question by finding a high paying job which requires no degree. But to actually be able to play football every day, as a job, that would be awesome...

    In a small, quirky little bookshop. That would be awesome.

    (That's if money wasn't generally a problem - as I'd imagine you don't get much money doing this xD)

    Writer, actress, or.... believe it or not, working in Tesco. It's simple, you'll get to know people... and I know it's weird, but I like scanning barcodes. Working on the cashier would be fun!
