I didn't get a job until 1 month before I was 17. I must have applyed for over 50 jobs, and I even had good grades.
Technically you have to be 16 to have a proper job.
i was refering to the old minimum wage for 18 year olds (i forgot they changed it)
don't you think teens should have a minimum wage too? paper rounds are just child labour <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif"> !
I only get £2.50 an hour and I'm 17. I'll get £3 an hour if I stick it for another 7 months and I don't know if I can do that. There should definetely be a minimum wage for 16-18 year olds.
What i meant was that most places won't pay you £3 an hour if they can get away with paying you less.

I think I need to find a better job, but I don't really need the money cos I get £30 a week when I am at college. But if I didn't I would definetely get a better paid job.
Nevermind. I'll get a pay rise next April cos I'll have been there 1 year and in May when I will be 18.
Love is the answer,but while you're waiting for the answer,sex raises some pretty good questions.Woodey Allen.
i worked as a waiter in a hotel restaurant at the age of 15. it is quite unusual tho, and u do have 2 jump thru a lot of hoops. u will have 2 ask ur local council's educational welfare office (dunno why them) 4 a work permit. unfourtunatley, it is quite strict on when u can work, and certainly used 2 say that u can only work 4 two hours on a sunday, which sux, tho no1 eva checked up on me . . . . .
as 4 pay, i got £3.70 per hr, and then inflationary rise. i also got other benefits, such as half price meals, free/half price accomodation in that hotel chain (shire inns, if ur interested) cheap use of health & sports club etc.
just look 4 gud progressive pay structures. wen i started at tesco, i took a slight pay cut, to £3.68 or sumthing, but coz of length of service rises etc i now get £5.20 per hour, which i think is quite gud, really.
neways, gud luck
