Paper round age 13.
Job in a bakery age 15.
First full time job at 16 after I quit my A levels was a NVQ scheme for about £40 week in a shop. I did these until I was 18 and had the sense to go to college. In hindsight these NVQ schemes back in the 90s were a joke, cheap labour for employers who didn’t care about my training.0 -
