I went to work for a large textile company in the summer holidays after doing some work experience with them through school. I worked in a different department and they didn't realise I was 14, they thought I was from an agency and the secretary to a director. They left a 14 year old in charge of his diary etc and the petty cash tin. Can't remember how much I was paid but it was considerably more than YTS, they gave me YTS rate when I did the work experience

I went to boarding school so had longer holidays than most. I used to work at a truckstop/cafe/breakersyard on the pumps filling up wagons & cars. I did 1-6pm Mon-Fri and got £16 p/w which was quite a lot to a then 15yr old. Not sure you'd be allowed to operate petrol pumps at that age now though

My first job was working part time on an assembly line at the age of 16. Think I was on £70 a week at the time and at the same time I was at studying at college and claiming £30 a week EMA.

I thought I was loaded every Friday.

No way could I live on that now
