I would of liked to work with gas think working with gas is a great job
What sort of work? Delivery, processing, installation, servicing or something else. Whichever one it is you will need training and qualifications.

Your ideas appear to be bouncing around all over the place. How old are you? Where are you?

    You haven’t mentioned it, but I would suggest plastering. You get one heck of a workout, plenty of work, no qualifications required, just the skill to do it. You should be good enough to do simple jobs within a couple of weeks, two years and you should be good enough for anything.

    My main skills are heavy lifting and talking to new people iv done a lot of manual work like painting but I’m fed up with that I do enjoy driving and going to the gym but it’s gonna be a lot different doing it for a living
    Window cleaning. meet lots of people, manual labour so a good work out. Earning potential more than you would imagine.

    Based on the opening question, I would recommend you seek employment as a bus driver.

    Or is this one of those spoof theory questions?

    Because all of the options are an honest living, but non pay particularly well.
    Iv said there’s jobs because I think I would enjoy them iv been a painter and decorator before and I’m working at removing company right now what other jobs would u say pays well

    well, none of those 3.

    However, if you like the idea of bus driving, you might have a go at driving a coach, or an HGV. The training is more expensive, but the pay is better at the end of it.

    Also mentioned above, train drivers get a fairly generous package, too, but again the training period is fairly lengthy.

    Both of the other two options are pretty much minimum wage or less.

    Jobs that pay well usually need training and qualifications. The starting point for these are GCSEs. If you want a new career I suggest you start with evening classes and get your maths and English gcses.

    Do a google search. There is lots of information on training and vacancies.

    But…

    It’s often oversubscribed and there is a comprehensive vetting process. They are looking for the best candidates.

    Bus drivers get paid well (in london, not sure otherwise). Maybe start with this and start focusing on gym on the side.

    You can start personal training and/or creating gym equipment (it's easier than you think). Quite a crowded market but with the right amount of creativity you can find yourself a spot.

    Stick to something have a genuine interest in and will do long term, hence the reason I said start with the bus job, so you can earn some money whilst you figure out what you like

    Why are you only considering careers involving direct contact with members of the general public?

    People are generally getting ruder and more aggressive in public

    Choose a digger job

    Everyone leaves you alone and the pay is quite good

    Digger drivers are on reasonable money currently, £200-£300 depending upon location and shifts. Training will cost you around £1.5-2K for your tickets.

    Of course, as soon as we have any sort of slowdown this will reduce dramatically.

    £1k-£2k each week

    Depends on shifts and area (if rural tends to mean more demand for workers and less available workers, so higher rates available)

    Can't see a slowdown in the construction industry any time soon

    What with the housing crisis and an expanding population
