YOU don’t need to go to university and get a fancy qualification to get a good paying job.

And if the idea of ​​working in an office fills you with dread, there are plenty of big roles that don’t require you to sit at a desk all day.

The highest paying non-office jobs all have typical salaries in excess of £30,000 and you don’t need to go to university.

In higher paying roles, you can get an average of £50,000 a year.

James Neave, head of data science at the Adzuna job site, said:“Whether you’re looking for a white, blue, or gray collar job, there are plenty of options with great salaries that don’t require a college degree.

“Today, more and more employers are recognizing the value of self-taught or workplace-learned skills and are willing to look beyond formal education qualifications when evaluating candidates.

“Job seekers without a university degree should highlight their career achievements and practical skills that are relevant to the job posting on their CVs.

“Consider emphasizing industry certifications and job-related training as well.”

Topping the list is an air traffic controller with an advertised average salary of £52,961, according to Adzuna.

Solar installers can expect a salary of £46,190, while construction workers take home around £44,770.

You also don’t need a degree to be a pilot and an average salary is just over £40,000.

Bricklayers are in demand and earn around £38,000.

For some of these roles, you will need specialist training.

But in many cases you can start as an apprentice on the job or through a training program to earn while you learn.

For example, there are apprenticeship jobs for air traffic controllers, as well as bricklayers and florists.

Many of these jobs have the added benefit of being flexible.
