Depends.
If you mean proper job, I worked in Joinery shop.
But my first job as a kid was working on local farms during the summer hols, hauling hay, driving tractors etc, started when I was 13, fantastic fun!  |

"ha ... can beat that, apprentice printer, £7.2/6 a week, that would be £7.12p today, for 45 hour week... mind you, petrol was 5 bob a gallon, (25p for 5 litres)"
We change to decimal currency while you were still at primary school, how did you manage to get paid in old money. |

Kitchen assistant in a nursing home started when I was 15, first thing to do at 7am on a sat was peel a whole bag of spuds, another of carrots and then trimming 20 odd cauliflower. I don't think I'd ever peeled more than a handful of potatoes before and I think when I started, there was more potato in the bin than the pot. Oh the blisters ... |

Saturday job in a butchers shop. I left aged 17 after three years because they refused to take me on full time as an apprentice because I'm a girl.
Wish I'd had the balls to do something about it back then |

"Delivering the free paper, 1p per paper and did 120 houses on a thursday after school."
I got sacked from doing that, someone reported me for dumping the papers in the recycling centre instead of delivering them  |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Saturday job at Woolworths collecting and counting the money from the tills. Looking back I'm not sure why they let a 14 year old girl and a 15 year old boy go and collect all of that money. It was a big store, with furniture, electrics, sweeties, a cheese counter and a meat one. A busy Saturday and we would easily pick up £40k on the lunchtime round.
