My first job was as a full time Admin Officer at a jobcentre in West London. My take-home pay was about £150 per week, while I processed Income Support payments for some claimants of over £500 per week.

My first ever job was as a 16 year old for International Supermarket on the checkouts (Fri evening and all day Saturday) this was before I went to College.

My first full time job was as an Administration Assistant for a branch of Reed Accountancy earning £5,000 a year which went up to £5,500 after 6 months I think (can't remember now it was in 1987).

I delivered papers from 13 to 16 then worked at Kwik Save from 16 to 18 during my a-levels. I can't remember what we got paid, but it was the same rate whether you were 16 or 60, and we got time and a half for Sundays. They were the days!

cleaned the paddling pool in my local park after finishing my GCSE's. Supposed to wear waders to 'hoover' up the floor of the pool but it was a warm summer in 1990 so I just wore shorts. The job also involved litter picking and the amount of dirty nappies left lying around was horrible. the stick wouldn't go through them either

I worked in the Job Centre when I was 16 (while studying an NVQ so paid a "training allowance"). My first normal wage was as a playworker for an out of school club.

My first job aged 14 was as a Saturday assistant at my local stables. In other words I mucked out stables for £5 a day and a free riding lesson.

My first proper job (i.e. with wage slips, NI etc) was as a waitress working for Whitbread. I started aged 16 and continued on a full/part time basis until I left university aged 22.

I then spent 7 years working as a hydrologist at the Environment Agency, got fed up with being sat in an office all day rather than getting out and about and left.

I'm currently a full-time PhD student wondering what the future holds!
