My first "Job" was helping collecting stock for Help the Aged way back in May 1995, and even that was a total mess up on the part of the YTS scheme I was on at the time, I was originally supposed to be working in the HTA Charity shop in Hillsborough.

My first job technically is when I was 14, I was employed by my own secondary school had to do forms and DBS checks for it and worked during school holidays doing finance, IT and admin jobs. I remember being rich at the end of school holidays.

I'll have been 13 when I first started doing accountancy in Newcastle throughout the summer holidays.
Whilst at university I taught maths and English in a school. In our second year at university (1996) some friends and I established the first of two digital marketing companies. At the same time we were organising house parties, music nights in Liverpool nightclubs, and raves all over Wales and the North West.

I did a bit of gardening for someone when I was 16 which was the first money I earned. But I had worked pretty hard before that looking after the goats and chickens at home. I got up early and milked the goat and fed the chickens and then cycled miles to take care of my horse every day before school and again afterwards from when I was 13. I loved it:)

Mine was at Millie's Cookies. I used to take home a big bag of unsold cookies at the end of each shift, it was heaven!

I used to do a lot of DIY type jobs for relatives and neighbours while I was still at school. But my first employed job was in a small supermarket. Customer facing all day. Hated it.

Trained as hairdresser in 1984 apprenticeship. It was the time when Thatcher set up YTS and was paid ยฃ25 for a 40 hrs week. I didn't care. It was the happiest year of my work life.

I was an office junior at a solicitors in King Street, Manchester. Got paid ยฃ23.00 a week; ยฃ3.00 for my bus pass, I think ยฃ5.00 to mum for my 'keep' as it was called (1979). Was in Kendal Milne, Bus Stop or Chelsea Girl most Friday lunchtimes looking for clothes to go out in. Lovely, carefree days ๐.

Oh I bet that was brilliant (if you was able to see all the shows).

It was great! I got to watch quite a few of the shows and have really fond memories of it all. I could never get a handle on which way the seat numbers went, so I just used to mumble and do a generic hand movement to direct people. Not sure I was the best usher there, but at least I had a good time ๐
