I thought nurses were degree educated now.

HR. I am degree educated to masters but did mine on the job. Now earn in excess of £80k- 9-5 job, not a huge amount of stress and I don't work outside of my contracted hours.

I have people in my team who earn £40k with no degree- they have worked up through experience.

My DH is a lorry driver. No degree- earns approx. £45k a year (works 6.30am- 4.30pm, Monday to Friday- could earn more if he worked shifts but likes his evenings!)
