whats ya age

[Niall]

I had no car at 17 because I didn't have a job and only had EMA which is £30 pounds per week! You guys were so lucky to get jobs at that age with no experience.

/facepalm.

Most people i know were working for cash in hand since the ag14/15, let alone 17..

I worked my ass off to afford a car to move schools for my education. Luck is nothing. I also was entitled to "EMA"; a pointless incentive by the government to keep youth in education to reduce NEETS across the country.

A lot of jobs require little experience; i'm sure most people know how to scrub pots and pans for minimum wage. The truth is that 'most' people start here for experience and reputability.

Couldn't agree more and this is why I hate today's uni culture that people will walk out of uni at 21 with a degree and automatically walk into a good high paying job. 99% of people start at the bottom and work up. I think my self very lucky to be in the position I'm in seeing as I basically have no qualifications at all whilst I know of people from my old school that are qualified up to the eyeballs and have been turned down for cleaning jobs and jobs in mc donnalds.
