    Who gets £300 a week take home pay as an apprentice...at 17.

    I'd be surprised if you got much more than £100 per week.

    Minimum wage is £2.73 per hour multiplied by 35 hours. £95.55.

    and...the intake group this year at Royal Bank of Scotland hasn't started yet...what is going on here. They don't allow them to start until they've finished the exams and had at least a few weeks off. Applications close 30th June for apprentice applications.

    Yeah, I'm not quite sure what the point of all the bull is tbh. It's not even the funny type

    On 8 May you were 17, studying full time and working part time in Next. You needed to give 4 weeks notice to leave.

    What happened to the studying?

    How have you applied for , been accepted and started a new job already?

    Less than a month ago you had no money and yet you have an account with HSBC ( which you don't like because you don't like Jaoanese people) which you put your saivngs into.
