Full-time student, mostly leeching off my parents and the government.
IT SUCKS! I WANT TO WORK!
I need some money to go buy my own stuff!
The shite is that the way the minimum wage system is set up here in Holland, the minimum wage increases every year until you are 24. Now, this works
brilliantly to keep kids in school longer, but it sucks for us poor students. After all, why would any shop hire us if they can hire a 16 year old for
1/3 the money? And I can not get a 'real' job until I finish uni!

Snapper, bit of a clue..... Photographer, working for .The Govenment. so a Civil Servant really. The job has taken me all over the world but mostly
the nasty bits, i have been in most things that fly, float, or travel over rough ground, can't belive my luck really, quite good for a poorly
educated eastend kid from the 50's

Agricultural, automotive & fabrication engineer. If its something that a farmer uses, sooner or later I will have to fix or make it.
Went there on work experience & started the day after I finished my GCSEs, never even had an interview.
Pay is nowt special, conditions can be terrible & the hours long but its a brilliant job. Skills should come in useful if I ever get round to
building a car!

I used to work in Cornwall for my Grandfathers agricultural engineering business. Driving out to remote farms on hot summer days to do a service on a
tractor etc. was great. Going out to replace a failed bearing on a half-full muck spreader was less pleasant...
