I got my first job at 21, I was an admin filing assistant. I was earning 8 pound something an hour, which was quite good seeing as minimum wage was like 5 and I had never worked before

after a month they got rid of me. I never passed probation... :colonhash:

was pretty devastated at the time, but tbh I disliked the job anyway and found it depressing....
the money was nice [bought myself a brand new custom built PC], but somehow I didn't feel like all that work I had to do to get it was worth it....

Depends on the day really and if its if its Mothers Day/Christmas/Valentines day. I'd say average shift is 4-5 hours long.

I was only there a month

my next job I was in retail. I lied on my CV to get it tho…,
that's something I've become very good at, bullsh*tting my way into jobs. It's not about how qualified you are, it's not even about how well you can do the job, it's about weather or not you can give the illusion of competence and qualified ..

I know a tutor and I've just had a browse of some tutoring websites and tbh .. I think I could BS my way into earning some money from it. Would need to at least get competent in GCSE subjects first though and probably take a year to redo them or something[have not done gcse's for a while and have literally forgotten most of what I was taught].

So long as I've got that minimum, i'd be able to earn money and just BS my way though anything else.

Your main hurdle for tutoring is your age and exp, and the fact that most people tutoring have degree's. You can't really BS and say you have a degree because someone will probably rumble you due to your age. There are no formal requirements by law to tutor but pretty much everyone doing it [when I had a quick search] has a degree.
