Little-known job where you can earn £29k a YEAR for driving around & you don’t need a degree… but there’s a grim catch

YOU could earn £29,000 a year just for driving around in a little-known job - but it there's a pretty grim catch.

A listing for the job on the Indeed website offers a rate of £14 an hour.

If you work for eight hours a day, five days a week, that stacks up to an impressive annual salary of £29,000 a year.

But the catch lies in the nature of the job itself - working as portable toilet delivery driver.

People who do this job drop off and pick up portaloos from festivals, building sites and private events - as well as cleaning and servicing the toilets.

To do the job, you need to hold a full clean driving licence and have experience driving a 3.5 tonne vehicle.

Your income from the freelance job may fall short of £29,000, due to seasonal changes in demand for portable toilets.

At some points in the year you will be ferrying toilets all over the country - but at others, you will be left twiddling your thumbs.

Site-Equip in Lasham, Hampshire is advertising for a full-time portable toilet service driver paid up to £14 an hour, with a raise after a year.

Driver Hire in Poole, Dorset also pays £13 an hour for "delivering and collecting portable toilets, emptying them and cleaning them".

There are several other jobs which offer high salaries without requiring formal qualifications.

Adzuna's Andrew Hunter said: ""A university degree is no longer the only ticket to a high paying career, as more industries look to expand their talent pools to a more diverse range of applicants and offer on the job training.

"The IT sector is a good example of this, boasting many high paying roles like scrum master, ethical hacker, and software developer open to jobseekers without a computer science qualification."

While a degree isn't needed for most of these jobs, there may be other requirements.

For example, you don't need to study at university to become a commercial pilot, but you'll usually need five GCSEs including English, Science, and Maths.

With the cost of a university education adding up to £57,000 on average, it could pay to pursue one of the high-paying careers that avoid taking on student loan debts and studying costs.

Scrum masters, who manage IT and tech projects, are earning upwards of £62,000 a year.

There are courses you can take to train as a scrum master, but there's no strict path into the job.

Those in the following roles can also expect to earn salaries between £50,000 and £60,000 a year:

• Software developer
• Train driver
• Construction manager
• Oil Rig operative
• Security manager
• Games developer
• Project manager

Eight other jobs pay workers without formal education salaries between £43,000 and £46,000 a year:

• Buying manager
• Translator
• Accountant
• Private chef
• Army officer
• Digital marketing manager
• Landscape designer
• ChatGPT prompt engineer
