I worked in Tesco whilst still at school and for a while after.
Most of my friends worked there too and we used to just muck around all day. It was probably the most fun job I've had. |

My apprenticeship at my previous job - in a private nursery. I started off on £2.50 an hour. Qualified within ten months (on a year and a half contract) and stayed for two and a half years. Awful place. |

Why am i not surprised

There and to the left a bit |
Did a paper round (old school daily papers getting up at the crack of dawn type thing not the local freebie) and also worked in a garden centre while I was still at school.
After leaving school though - first proper job was as a porter in a department store- which was a stop gap for 7 or 8 months between leaving school and joining the Navy - I still have the leaving card and pewter tankers they bought me when so I left too!! |

Still on my first Job.
Commissioning ventilation systems and heating and cooling systems.
It’s ok but working with family isn’t as fun as I thought it would be.
Been at it for 8 years now.
Going to change career soon. |

I used to work on a YTS in an office for £27.50 a week.
Then I used to work for Littlewoods Pools on a Saturday for £35.
I got paid more for my Saturday work than I did full time! |

"Science Teacher. But I can’t remember how much I was paid. "
I do! £368.48 a month. Gave my mum £50 and paid my car loan and the rest was mine. God I was so rich back then! That was 1987 |

Receptionist at a Dental clinic. It was great ???? And very interesting when occasionally I had to assist the dentist during a procedure. 
Really big fan of healthy, correctly aligned teeth |

That’s inc_edibly specific. Down to the penny.
I don’t even know what I got paid last month to that level of accuracy. |

My first proper job was working in McDonalds.
I used to say to customers ‘Welcome to McDonalds, can I take your McOrder ?’ A supervisor came over to me and said ‘You don’t have to add Mc to ever word !’
So the next customer who came in I said ‘Welcome to Donald’s!’
I last 3 weeks
