    Enough with the smart ars responses. I WAS med rep in the past, ONLY evenings. Not in this hideous country though. Where pubs in the heart of central london close at 22:00-22:30 during weekdays.

    Wasn't a smart arsenal response, unfortunately I'm not equipped with a time machine to determine what job you did in a past life.

    ok sorry, I may overreacted, it's just that too many people here are hostile and I lost track

    Hostile responses here? An overreaction does not include calling the country you are living in "hideous". If you find the UK so awful, and desperately need pubs to be open when it suits you, please feel free to go back to wherever it is that suits you better. You will tend to find that when you insult peoples country, they do tend to get a tad "hostile" - whatever country you happen to be in at the time.

    Only warehouse and call centres. But the pay is horrible.

    What skills do you have that might be conducive to higher paying employment?

    If that's it then minimum wage is about the right level for you to start at. Higher paid jobs will expect more from you than the ability to learn - a sixteen year old can do that.

    you have regard very highly british 16 year olds. a look at A-level results should give you an idea and ofcourse that is much skewed

    You've told us nothing that would differentiate you from a sixteen year old. What skills, qualifications, experience do you have?

    Are you doing anything to improve your English skills? That would be key to improving your employability.

    All the 16 year olds that I know have a much better grasp of English grammar and punctuation than you do...

    Your priority should be to improve your English skills if you want something better than "horrible pay" warehouse and call centre jobs.

    Regardless of the OP's chances of being appointed, are there many evening jobs which are well paid? Most of the well paid jobs I can think of are either day jobs which may need some evening working, or 24 hour industries with day and night shifts.

    The few exceptions I can think of are mostly self employed.

    There is one industry in which you can set you own hours and you may be able to charge high rates, but there are a few physical requirements in order to make a success of it...oh, and you might have to make a bit more effort to get on with people.
