If you're disappointed with your A-Level results worry not as there is a world of lucrative career opportunities that don't demand a degree. Job search engine Adzuna has revealed the professions where salaries have surged beyond double over the previous year, with no university stint needed.

Topping the list with a staggering 107% salary jump is one unlikely career, which has seen paychecks rise from £30,519 to a plush £63,200 within just a year.

While average salaries across UK job adverts experienced a modest 2.7% uptick year-on-year in June, it's important to remember starting at the bottom and climbing the career ladder is generally a necessity for these roles, reports The Mirror.

Andrew Hunter, co-founder of Adzuna, told The Sun: "If a 3% increase doesn’t catch your eye, our data shows that there are numerous roles with salary growth exceeding 25%, and they don’t require a degree. If you have exceptional communication skills, consider roles like Dealer (+107%), Traffic Management Operative (+73%) or Social Media Specialist (+60%)."
