Just out of interest, what was your first job? How old were you? How much was your hourly pay? Also, how did you get this job? i.e. through a family member
My first job was as a healthcare assistant in a hospital (cardiology ward) during my gap year after 6th form. I was on a basic band 2 salary plus unsociable hours which was around 14-15K a year. It was full-time.
My first job was in a cafe when I was 16. I got paid £30 for Saturday and Sunday mornings, not bad in my opinion as I still had the whole day free to do what I wanted! Had multiple jobs and gained experience in other sectors since then though, worked my way up in the world.

I was 16, I worked as a personal carer for a teenage girl with severe cerebral palsy and epilepsy, was solely responsible for her for 8 hours every saturday. It was a stressful job but I was being paid £8 an hour
My first paid job is the one I'm currently in and only started 4 months ago. I work as a Cafe Assistant in Morrisojs and will now be on £6.40 per hour, since I'm at the end of my probationary period.
Clothes shop assistant, about £3.50 an hour or something ridiculous. I was on super-tax the entire time, had to buy my own uniform, so i basically earn't less than nothing. I was also unceremoniously fired after three months.
It' should be illegal to make shop assistants buy their own uniform.
I did waitressing in a pub when I was 16 (summer between year 11 and sixth form)
Got paid £5 an hour and worked Saturdays and Sundays. Only did it for about 5 weeks though because I hated it and was rubbish. It was cash in hand, and seemed like loads of money at the time (though considering it was 9 years ago, £5 an hour was probably quite good for a 16 year old)
