After 10 years I'm looking for a change of career (lots of reasons, some personal, some professional). Trouble is I've got no fucking idea what I can do. I'm told that after being in the police i'll have lots of transferrable skills, but i'm struggling to think of careers that may want someone who can manage a collision or who is quite handy at explaining the facts of life (not the dirty ones!) to a juvenile shoplifter.
The other issue is not many jobs pay the same wage (£27,000) as what i'm not now without first having a degree.
There's no rush to leave, I could be coming back here in 20 years time asking the same question, which I suppose puts me in a good position, i'm just getting itchy feet.
Any ideas folks?

Just 3 ideas which can be very profitbale without having to further your education.
Lol
Full-time Youth worker jobs are usually around the 26-28,000 mark put you'd need a specific degree in 'Youth work'. However with current government cuts youth work's probably not the most stable of options anyway.
You'd think so, but nope. I'm still plod.
It's often worth calling anyway; they might tell you that if you make a good case for experience in a cover letter / application they will allow it.
