Abstract
A head chef is one of the UK’s top-paying positions that does not require a degree, job site, Indeed, have announced.

The website analysed salaries offered by tens-of-thousands of job adverts to identify the top roles open to non-graduates that pay substantially more than the average UK yearly salary of £27,600.

In ninth place was the role of head chef, which had an average salary of £30,867.

Bill Richards, UK Managing Director at Indeed, said: “This data proves that choosing not to go to university after school does not automatically mean a lower salary. Although all the roles in our list do require some form of training, they don’t require a degree.

“Our figures suggest there is still a ‘graduate premium’, with graduates frequently earning more than those without a degree, but this is usually once they have spent a few years in work – and many will start their careers in the same entry level positions as they would had they not gone to university.”
