how much did you get paid for your first job?

[paperBprincess]

i get £15 for 6 hours which works out at £2.50 an hour, sometimes i get tips.

i was just wondering how much you lot got paid for your first job i.e. when you were about 15

i know its crap money at my place but i kinda like it there so im not complaining (most of the time)

[fugue]

i got 5.74 an hour at my first job. I only ever got about 5.00 worth of tips a day tho, so yeah.

i now get about 12/13 an hours so i've moved up in the world :p

I got £10-15 a day, working 9am til 4pm, without a real lunch break (more of a sandwich at my desk, mouthfuls between phone calls, kinda thing) in an estate agents when I was 16-18. I started on £10 a day and after about a year they put it up to £15. I left a few weeks after my 18th birthday because they wouldn't put my wages up (amongst other reasons).

I really was doing it more for the experience than the money (at the beginning at least!), and without that experience, I wouldn't have got my new job, so maybe it was worth it...

I got £4 an hour for my first job, so I usually ended up with around £20 a shift and then i worked 3-4 shifts a week as a silver service waitress (that couldnt silver serve).

But when i had to work xmas day I got double time but it was the only time I did

And then if we got finished early at say 4 minutes to the hour, we would only get paid up to 4 minutes to hour..

I kinda wish I'd kept that job, even if the kitchen staff couldnt really form sentences without using "fuck" 54 times and the duty manager was a perv and walked around groping staff

[BumbleBee]

I got about £3.40 at Wax Lyrical, then at Marks and Pencer I got about £3.90, which went up once I turned 18. When I worked at the theatre I got £4.20 despite it being work for a local authority, whose staff are legally not allowed to pay less than £5 an hour to their employees. Grrr :mad:

Now I get £5.70 and I work in a GPs surgery, but I only work 11.5 hours a week. Beats working more hours for less pay, works out the same at the end of the month! :)

30 quid a day, for my first job (about £4 an hour, i think).

[Olive]

i got £2.90 p/h working as a waitress when i was 16.

I just started my first job this week :hyper:

I'm contracted to do 17 hours a week, at £3.70 an hour, and time and a half on Sundays. That works out at £72.15 a week.

And I get a pay rise after 13 weeks, when I'm fully trained :)

Edited to say: That averages at about £4.24 an hour.

[Lacy]

In my first ever ever ever job i got £3.00 ph :)

I was 14 though so its excusable!

Although at the age of 17 i only get £4.19 :( Crap fucking wages!

[Glittery]

I got £3.85 in my first job and I thought it was loooooadsa money :rolleyes:

[HunnyPot]

I'm still at my first job. £3.60 p/h, 10 hours a week, though I'm forever doing extra shifts.

[Renzo]

my first job, shelf stacker at tesco £3.83 an hour. The hours were really poor and stuff so i quit.
Im starting my new job today at WHSmiths. £4.58 and hour going up to £4.78 an hour after 3 months. Im just working sundays, but theres no extra sunday pay, ah well.

[Cheezie Grin]

My first job - which was through a training programme, was £4,500 per year.

I now earn around £9 per hour on a 35 hour week.

[Tim the Enchanter]

My first job was in a little mini-market type shop where I got £3.20 an hour and worked around 12 hours a week.

But I've quit that now and I'm lining up a job in Iceland where it's £4.20 an hour so I'm a lot happier because I'm still young and niave about wages :D

[Faith]

I got 4.20 in Electronics Boutique when I was about 17. Before that I babysat for about 20 quid a night.

[strawberrychild]

I worked for Marks and Sparks for a week and got £300 or so. But it was Xmas, so they paid a bit more.

[Man Of Kent]

I was paid £2,000 per year, for a full time job (37 hours per week)...
