A MAN with one of the best-paid jobs in Britain says you don't need a degree to do it – and £60,000 a year is well within reach.
The Londoner took to TikTok with a clip explaining how much he earns as a scaffolder in the capital.
He said that a labourer working on a scaffold can expect to earn between £16 and £19 an hour.
A trainee scaffolder will see their earnings rise to around £20-£24 an hour.
But once they have completed their training, a scaffolder could earn over £30 an hour.
An eight-hour shift as a trained scaffolder could net you around £240.
