Prison Service - either as Uniformed Officer and aim for promotion which is good money, or one of the various careers attached to working in this area, e.g probation work, drugs work etc. Check out the Home Office website and theres a link to the Prison Service. Not an easy career option though.

Corporate Law is one helluva an earner - I know someone whose xmas bonus was £75k. admittedly head of european operations for a global concern, so not everyone gets there. but he is only 30 something and a rock solid working class brummie lad who puts chips up his nose for a laugh on skiing holidays. if u got it go 4 it. wanna see the pic?
