Experts have shared a list of the 15 top-paying jobs in the UK that don't require a degree.
It's often thought that a university degree is necessary for high-paying jobs, but there are numerous roles that offer substantial full-time salaries without one.
Given that students can accumulate debts of over £50,000 after finishing their studies, many are opting for non-traditional career paths.
Job site Adzuna has listed 15 positions that don't necessitate a degree, using data from its own website's vacancies.
These roles offer hourly rates between £18 and £30, translating to an annual full-time salary of £37,000 to £63,000 before tax - significantly higher than the national average of £35,000, as reported by the Mirror.
