Some jobs (like mines) in the MTA you can easily make 70k-150k with no degree.

You can do apprenticeships without a degree at any age you'd just need to show why you'd be a good fit for the role and that you have been proactive in showing that you will succeed in said career that the apprenticeship is in. There are no age restrictions on apprenticeships.
Choose an IT career path and study to reach the pinnacle of that path. Eventually you will need the degree to make it easier to level up your position but to get your foot into the door and earn a decent wage you need no degree or credentials except not having criminal record because no one will trust you with their data if you have been nicked for stealing etc.
Driving lorries long distance. These men and women make a fortune just driving.
ANY GOVERNMENT JOBS:
Secret Intelligence.
Police.
Fireman.
Prison Officer. (except when you have to inspect an inmates butt every morning to make sure nothing is hidden in there)
Air Force. (minimal risk of death damn near living like a civilian because you're always inside)

Thinks it's something someone could deal with for a few years?
shyt stressful.

Would it be wise to do an apprenticeship and a degree at the same time ?
You mean talking about a trade like electrician right ?
I also heard they pay very low for the first 5 years until you're a journey man.
How do you do secret intelligence with no degree? Sounds like some degree kind of job.

Coding dont take long
It really depends on what's being sold and the upside in the market/industry.
Also very important is the comp plan (base + commission, ideally you want a lower base but higher commission)
Right now Tech Sales is quite hot especially B2B. SaaS Sales is also pretty big. You have to be dedicated to it though. Sales ain't for everyone. If you don't make your numbers then you might as well go home
But I'll say this though no matter what company/business idea you have, if you don't have sales then that business will not survive. Plain and simple
I know some dudes in sales you've cleared $1 mil before 30
. And the thing about Sales, kinda like politics, is that it's an "everymans" game. It's not like other professions where you have to be the smartest person in the room. You just have to sell.
I don't know if it's been mentioned but IT would be a good look as well. There are so many free resources out there it's almost embarrassing. We live in the information and skills age. So much wisdom is being put out there for free. I'd say hop on over to the 6 Figures 6 Certs thread and ask brehs there for guidance.
There is really no reason a young breh should not be getting to the bag by 2018.

An apprenticeship is a degree. When you apply for apprenticeships you'd choose the level that you're at in life so if you have no BSc degree which is a Level 5 in the British educational system but you have sufficient secondary/high school qualifications (which are Level 3) then you can apply for Level 4 which is basically the foundation year of university before attending your first year of university. This will all be encompassed in an apprenticeship which is why they are 4-5 years because they generally take young adults from 16 til under 25 as they do not have experience so employers pay for the best individual to attend a real university whilst also working on the job. You'd be paid peanuts for these years because in reality your employment is being subsidised with a secure job at the end because you are on their apprenticeship as well as getting a "free" education on your part because the company doing the apprenticeship for you is paying all the fees for your education at a real university. On top of that you'd still get monetary help from the government because you are a student even though you're working.
You can literally pick any trade -- ANYTHING but it's best to choose what you're interested in with support to back this up whether through references like volunteering or showing why are the best for the job. It's nothing more than an interview process to get your education and career path sorted out and for free with little thought on your part because the employer is doing all the leg work. The wouldn't be doing an apprenticeship if they couldn't afford it.
Being an electrician is a good trade but if you could sit behind a desk and not get dirty or have to climb ladders for the same pay, wouldn't you? It's all personal preference.
There are many roles in secret intelligence not just James Bond type niccaz and like the police you just need to meet certain requirements. It's one of the best fields to be in apparently.
If I had no career or specific trade skills I'd just go straight into a government job. The Military (Air Force, Navy and Army) offer apprenticeships too which is why I recommended the Air Force because your risk of death is damn near 0 because you're not going outside.

Not at all, if you not working for some janky spam telemarketing company.
Idk where you live, but look for call center work that's related to a reputable company like t mobile, at&t. Customer support for start upish tech companies is the best option. They have good benefits/perks to attract those Silicon Valley techies, but they usually apply them to the whole company, so it trickles down even to their customer support.
As long as you're an actual employee and not on contract from a temp agency. Don't take the contract gig unless they tell you they will hire you as a full employee after so many months.
Yeah, I'd rather work at a desk, only trade I can think that's like that is IT.
You know any other trades like that?

You're in the same boat as me. I'm in the middle of a career change and am learning a new trade myself to get into IT.
I already started a thread on a similar matter that may be of interest to you: Should I Study Computer Science or Networking To Get Into The Cyber Security Field?
The Air Force has loads of roles for techie brehs and especially if you're a brehette and even more if you're a woman that's not white for equality reasons.
The requirements for women to get in is almost a joke. The military act like women can't run fast or do stuff properly so the threshold for them to get in is really low. It's sort of a slap in the face for the amount of effort men have to put in. Even in athletics women run just as fast as men so it doesn't make sense but if you are a woman or know one then it's easy to get in.
With IT depending on what you want to specialise in (specialisation is where the big money's at) your earnings potential is only what you make it and the way the world is going it's a no brainer.
I'm getting into networking, look into it.

Here's an IT career path to help you find it easier to specialise a specific skillset in order to earn to your fullest potential depending on the effort you put in.
I myself am following the purple *(networking) path but the blue (IS) path is a translatable field with the skills you'd learn along the way or you could mix the two depending on what a specific job role requires.
I suggest you spend 2 full days on Monster or whatever job searching site you like and look at what these types of roles entail and what they expect you to know off the bat.
Good luck, coz I know I need it.
Can't express that enough
I got a degree and diploma in Networking and Technology, yet always fall back on retail because it's all I know

If you are good with people, persuasive with the product, and good with numbers...shyt is like the back of your hand easy
