  • I'm a sales assistant at a petrol station. It's boring work, s to pass the time I'm studying with OU for a Social Sciences Degree. I have no idea where I want it to take me (career-wise) I find it interesting. This will be my third career change.

    I've been a fully-qualified BHS Riding Instructor (poor pay), an Ofsted Registered Childminder (with an Outstanding inspection report), again poor pay. Both were jobs I loved but poor pay, often below minimum wage.

    I should add that I'm only 26!!!

    So now I get minimum wage, decent hours, work part time with a 4 day weekend, 4 weeks paid holiday, time with my family and money to pay off the debts too.
