Need a new job - any ideas?

You're all a worldly-wise lot from a varying set of backgrounds - what d'ya reckon?

When I finished uni I realised I'm not built to sit in front of a computer all day, I need to be actually physically doing something, and I don't particularly care what it is.

The catch is, although I've done most things to some extent, I'm not actually qualifed or time served to do anything.

I used to work for a merchandising company as a merchandiser/installer/team leader. I rather liked it, then it got to the dreaded post-xmas period where it all goes quiet and there's no money to be made. So I went to work for our very own Coxy deliverring cars, again, rather liked it.

The merchandising company I worked for got bought out, and a few months later my old boss, now working for the new firm phoned me up and talked me into going to work for him again. He gave me assurances about what'd change and what wouldn't, and his timing was spot on with me having a bad week working for for Mr Cox (not his fault, I did a speed camera and had an MGF shoved up my arse in the same week... it's funny how these things get to you). So I went back to my old job.

All was well until my boss left and since then it's hit the point where I love what I do, but I hate the company I do it for. Downside is, they've taken most of the work off their competitors, so there's not a lot of point going and working for them.

Anyone got any answers for a practical job, that you don't need 4 years experience to do, that pays a living wage?
