Working at 16?

Anybody working at 16, full time or part time?
Looking for a saturday or sunday job in Edinburgh, just wondering if any of use can tell me what kind of wages i would be looking at?

Or even just tell us where your working

 

I had a job when I was 16 in a retail shop, the wages were pretty *, just above minimum wage. That was a good few years ago, I think now most places are paying about £4/5 odds an hour, It just depends where the job is really.
Good luck with the job hunt

 

Cheers mate

 

Mimumum wage usually, thats £3.53 a hour for 16-18 year olds mate, best staying on pocket money

 

Handed in a job application over a week ago and heard nothing
Should i phone them or give up hope ?

 

I was workin when i was 16 as an apprentice bricky, was got about £160 a week or summit

 

Alot of normal brickies would be happy with that these days.

 

Oh ano its bad times, i didnt even finish my apprenticeship, workin in a * warehouse need out !

 

Count yourself lucky mate ya have a job a few years back you could practically quit and walk into another job within days.......* nitemare now.

 

was on £8.20 an hr at 16


on £6 an hr at 18

 

im 16, work every weekend. Wage is £4.50 an hour which isin't bad. Most of my mates are on £4 or i do know people who work for £3.20 which in my opinion rly is taking the *

 

I was working full time at 15 coming out with 230 Euro a week, thought i was the cheese, how times change

 

When I was 16 I was on £47 per week as an apprentice joiner.

 

My first job when i was 16 was Wallaces Express Booze delivery - £1.63 an hour. 65 quid a week 40 hours. Heavy lifting job.

Brutal so it was but it was the best job i've ever had haha.

 

always follow it up m8 .can never hurt

mate thts slave labour but i did the same thing lol was that MI TECH

 

i'm 18 now been working on and off since i left school.found it hard to hold down a job . not sure wether it's just in my nature . or because of my age or simply havent found the right job yet .


but tbh i don't think kids should be forced into a job as soon as they leave school just seems to me that ppl arent given time to enjoy being children now without having to go to school, pressure of exams , college, work , etc....

 

When I was 16, I was working out with obout 170 as a groundworker.

 

haven't even looked at jobs yet and i'm 16, started college last month doing a joinery course though so i think im just gonna finish that then try and get an apprenticeship. cant be arsed with part time jobs tbh.

 

im 17 and on 3.53 an hour, its pish.. 18 next month tho, so it gets a little better.

 

got my job in a shop couple a days after my 16th and on 3.53 and i still am!
