    I had a job when I was 16 in a retail shop, the wages were pretty *, just above minimum wage. That was a good few years ago, I think now most places are paying about £4/5 odds an hour, It just depends where the job is really.
    Good luck with the job hunt :50:

    i'm 18 now been working on and off since i left school.found it hard to hold down a job . not sure wether it's just in my nature . or because of my age or simply havent found the right job yet .


    but tbh i don't think kids should be forced into a job as soon as they leave school just seems to me that ppl arent given time to enjoy being children now without having to go to school, pressure of exams , college, work , etc....
