Any well paying apprenticeships
Discussion
Even if they are offshore, are thier any apprenticeships or training posts people with non specific degrees can do and get paid 23,000 plus while training. I want a change in career but i have a mortgaged house. I cant afford to pay for a degree nor will i have the time working full time. I can afford to pay a couple of grand to do something but no more.
I dont know much about offshore but was wondering do they do anything like that?

Apprenticeships and 'well paid' are pretty mutually exclusive; Merchant navy cadets get 5-10k pa while training which takes 3 years(3.5~ if you opt to do the degree thing), and your starting wage will be £18-25k. You could join the forces; trade skills tend to be 2-3 years for the first level and once out of basic training the pay is ~£18k, rising as you become more qualified. The opportunity to do degrees is there, but not until you're a few years in.
I suspect you've maybe got little in the way of formal qualifications which is why you're looking for a well paid apprenticeship? There aren't any I can think of. I looked into being an air traffic controller years ago but I think with anything like this you're going to have to accept a low wage for at least the initial 12 months most likely 2-3 years though.
