Idea for good manual/non graduate job?

I understand many users here are rather mature people with plentiful life experience. Maybe you can be of help to younger guy?

I have been offered to gain a new qualification covered by state. I have been mostly in business stuff, but than I also worked manually and I quite like it... It is good to give brain a little rest from time to time...

I am seriously considering some non-graduate job (for limited time), to get new experience and maybe earn some money - it's not that easy to find a good office job and skilled workers are in high demand nowadays.

I was considering truck driver My friend works like that and is sound cool. Problem is, companies always look for people with experience. Do you have an idea what might be good job to try - both interesting and well paid? It should have good potential for west EU/maybe USA. I most prefer UK, so idea of any demanded and cool job there would be very appreciated!

Thank you for advice, inspiration.
