What jobs pay quite well but need little or no qualification
Discussion
Why little or no qualification? If you're serious about a new direction, take the effort to put yourself through some form of qualification as a foot in the door.
Speaking from within my own field, you shouldn't struggle to get reasonably good paying work - with good progression opportunities - if you studied AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians). Certain people qualify for a learning loan from the government to fund it.
I know a few AAT qualifieds on the sort of money you're looking for, and they have good chances of progression, many companies may even consider funding your full ACCA/CIMA qualification if you get in with the right company which will then majorly boost your earning potential.
Sometimes you have to take a small step backwards (pay wise) but it will pay in the long term. All down to your situation I guess.

Air traffic control. The selection process is difficult and there’s then training but I don’t believe you necessarily need any set qualifications.
When I looked into that around 8 years ago the starting salary was c. £12k

On joining as a Trainee Air Traffic Controller, you’ll get a basic salary of £11,967.36, along with an attractive benefits package. This will include everything from a contributory pension scheme and generous annual leave to a whole host of voluntary benefits and family friendly policies.
Because we recognise the costs associated with accommodation when you’re training, we also provide a weekly payment of £60* to help you cover your expenses. You may also be eligible to claim a further £1,000* on completion of your college based training (subject to conditional criteria).
After the college based training completes, you’ll be posted to a NATS Unit for further training. On posting, your salary will increase and be somewhere between £17,066* and £20,479* (depending on where you’re posted).
Once you’ve completed and passed all of your training (college and unit), your salary will rise to £32,522* – £36,247*, again depending on the unit.
On your third anniversary of passing training, subject to validation, your salary will rise to £46,461* – £51,781* plus shift pay of £5,543*. With increments, you could potentially earn over £100,000* (inclusive of shift pay) at our Swanwick Centre and Heathrow Tower.
There's no mention of the duration of the college element but from memory 12 months sounds right. So if you can have some cash in the bank and can sustain the inital salary it's not too long until you're on decent then very good money.Because we recognise the costs associated with accommodation when you’re training, we also provide a weekly payment of £60* to help you cover your expenses.

I'm sure there's at least a couple of guys on here who are ATC's.

However you will need experience, an aptitude for it and a thick skin.
This was exactly my first thought although you do need a certain type of mindset/personality which not everybody has. One of my friends who has little in the way of qualifications fell into a sales role after doing office admin and he's now a regional sales manager with a nice 5 series, plenty of golfing trips and earning a decent wedge. He does have the "salesman" personality though!However you will need experience, an aptitude for it and a thick skin.
