    You don't need any qualifications for that
    I think common sense would be the paramount qualification; one that many universities don't seem to require for matriculation on a myriad of subjects.

    I'd be a UPS driver, or a driver for one of the facsimile couriers.

    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)
    Oooh this would be awesome.

    I quite like the job i do atm (work in a cafe) so either that or museum work as both are pretty awesome.

    But if I'm honest would be a TA as Im training to be a teacher and if i couldn't do that then TA is the next best thing

    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!
    You say that.. but after over a year of working there doing nothing but scan shopping, it gets pretty old haha

    Start my own business, instead of needing a degree though I would need a lot of capital, which isn't so easy to come by, unfortunately.

    I'd like to work in a bookshop. Not going to lie, I'll probably end up doing this after I graduate anyway...sigh.

    Professional wrestler.

    I don't know who this CM Punk guy I've heard about is, but I want the opportunity to sneak up behind him and whack him with a chair.

    Waitress. I don't know why, I like being in restaurants and just observing all sorts of people. And, like someone said, owning a quaint little bookshop. I'd really love that as well.
