Our daughter has got her very first job today, she's just a young teenager but went to her trial day with confidence and proved herself. We are chuffed.

What was your first ever paid job?

I had a paper round as soon as I could, but also did random odd jobs for friends parents too.

That wouldn't be allowed these days. I bet it was interesting for you. And how much alcohol did you drink at the end of a shift

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Saturday job at 14, collecting and counting the money in Woolworth's.

I'm not sure why they let a 14 year old, accompanied by a 15 year old lad, collect the money 3 times a day. It was a relatively large Woolworth's with clothes, furniture, cheese and meat counters and the usual Woolworth's stuff. We picked up a lot of cash just after lunch and in late afternoon.

Oh that is brilliant! Well done to her! what is she doing?

My first job was a chambermaid in a hotel, felt so grown up as I had a little flat at the top of the hotel. Earned £120 a week and lodging was free, meals cooked by the chef and close to the beach. I loved it
