What was your first 'proper' job & how long did you last?

[hutton who blue]

A compositor for local newspaper, first pay £15, started aged 16 (month after leaving school) and was there 5 years, made redundant on my 21st birthday

An imposter at all of them. My longevity and willingness to withstand abject boredom has had to stretch to almost unbearable levels in recent times due to the economic and employment climate.

Blue Marlin fish and chip shop on Derby Rd in Nottingham. Thought I'd be brilliant with my 3 A levels and show them all how to manage. They showed me I knew nothing about anything.

Straight from school I got a temping job at a solicitors where I printed off letters, stamped and signed them. Incredibly monotonous and I lasted 2 months. My first proper job was at a call centre doing cold calling. Was a proper laugh and I did that for about 4 years.

I fucking hope not!!!

I think you've misunderstood me somewhat. I haven't 'never had a job' as in I 'can't get a job, I have 'never had a job' as in 'can't be arsed working', that's all.
