Truck Driver

No formal education is required; simply find a local college that is offering courses in Stone Masonry or Construction to learn the basics.
Security
Working as a security officer is another job that requires nothing more than a good character and a relatively fit physique. You will need to be patient, polite, sensible, and be able to work well under stress.
Digital Marketing
SEO and PPC combine to make up what most people perceive to be digital marketing, with roles such as email and affiliate marketing also coming under the same banner. Whilst degrees in related fields — business and marketing, for example — can help, they are not always required, as much can be learnt on the job.
Police Constable

Alexander McQueen, for instance, left formal education at the age of 16 with one O-level. Build up a good portfolio, market yourself well and plague fashion houses and companies with your enthusiasm, and, the world really could be your oyster.
