How can I land a 45k salary job in 3-6 months?

I know this might sound pretty ambitious but I’m 25 and I’m looking to I’m looking to improve my career. I have a decent job but I’m open to ideas. What courses, certifications or skills can I do and learn in 3 - 6 months that will land me a job with a salary of 45k and above in the UK. Preferably Liverpool/Manchester but I’m open to moving cities if an opportunity arises

I’ve heard that getting the GWO license and Opito rigging course certificate can help land good jobs but most of the jobs will be seasonal. I’m considering doing that but I’m looking to get a few options and then deciding. Also, I’m 6’4 and I’ve considered trying to get into modelling but I’m trying to compare my options before deciding. Please if you have any suggestions, feel free to drop them.

Preferably something with a physical class but I’m open to do online courses as well

You could try a project management course but without any relevant experience it might be hard to get hired and you would start lower. You would get to 45k very fast though - probably in a couple of years with enough focus and by changing jobs once.

Have you considered leveraging your network? What are your successful friends and family doing? Often having a referral can really help you with that first step , they can also offer advice on how to do well in their area of expertise.

Thank you so much.

I’ll look into project management and see what qualifications or certifications I’ll need.

Unfortunately my network doesn’t have too many “successful” (high salary earners) in it hence why I’m trying to grow myself before I get too comfortable. But thank you so much for the advice

Thank you!

Port jobs if there's one near you. They tend to pay fairly well. I've just changed careers at nearly 50 and I'm starting with no previous experience in my new role at just shy of £44,000. The standard entry level Tug driver role pays about £38,000 after probation, but the terms and conditions are a little bit shit for them. Lots of opportunities for progression/promotion or getting different licenses as a crane operator etc. Also lots of very niche roles. Seems to fly under the radar a bit as a career as well.

When repling to submission/post please make genuine efforts to answer the question given. Please no jokes, judgements, etc.
Don't be a dick to each other. If getting heated, just block and move on.
