postman pays well
Urban myth.. Its actually pretty poor paid considering being out in all weathers etc..
not an urban myth, i was a postie on over 20k... thats awesome pay for a very unskilled job
I was gonna suggest Postie. I'm on £8.76 an hour, pretty good for the hours I do really. Got paid for 49 hrs last week, £460 before tax 
Maybe different up here, posty I was talking to reckoned he was on about 17k a year.
I think it would ruin me being a postie, I hated my paper round with a passion..

Being a doorman is good. for the obvious reasons but most lads have 2 jobs. a shit paying job then work the doors to make it up to a decent pay. unless ya get 5 days a week which is good money

in the right jobs, the railway pays well. It's not unheard of to walk in off the street with next to no qualifications and earn 40k ish as a driver... but it's hard to get in obviously. I only have 2 A Levels, I'm only on the platforms earning 16k basic but theres plenty of opportunity to earn a lot more when the jobs come up in my area. Worth a look
What this man said. I had no qualifications, no skills, well not for the railway anyway, and got straight in. And there is money to be earnt on the railway, more so the Underground, but I don't know where you live so that might be useless for you.

What about drug trials 
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I've been a temp at a factory for about 6 months now, but should hopefully have a permanent contract within the next month or so. On £5.83 p/h just now but can work as much shifts a week as I want Doing 60 hours a week just now so walking away with over £300 per week after tax, which isn't bad for the wage! Will go onto £10 p/h when permanent, and I'll be asking to get trained as a head tech, so add another £5k a year onto that. And as Dan said, it's a damn good laugh in a factory!

Any high rise windows near you?
High rise window cleaning. £10 per window.
10 floors = £100
£100 x however many drops you do.. I would aim for 4 - 5 drops a day and your laughin.
My mums other half set up shop here for a while then moved to Canada + makes nearly $200.000 a year canadian. Id say that a good wage

OVER 300 a week. The thing that gets me is that he does the exact same job as the lads that are permenant and gets paid less. Personally I wouldn't have stuck around for their piss taking but right now any job is worth having.

I'm afraid I am serious. But that includes bonus payments and the fact I work nights too. I think my basic for that time was around £26k.
