What was your first wage?

£7 a week doing an after school paper round. This then went up to about £12 when it became a stupidly huge round.

After that I got £4 an hour helping out at a bakery one summer, then a couple of years later got a job at Spar, earning £4.26 an hour, which increased to £5.26 on my 18th birthday.

Now I work for something gooseberry fool like about £4.65 or whatever minimum wage is these days at Subway which will only go up when I go up a minimum wage band (at 22). Or I leave.

Ho hum.

Working for software warehouse, it was fun, I got my first wage, £400 for the month and I spent it all on a Dreamcast.

£4 an hour stacking shelves in an off lisence, I was 14 I think.

When I was 15, £2.50p/h at a 5* restaurant, I was a kitchen porter, washing up, prepping ingredients that sort of thing, I really enjoyed it, got promoted (if you can call it that) to a waiter after about 3 months, got £5p/h plus (often very generous) tips.

I had a paper round when I was 12, I think I got £2 per day for about an hours work.
