Think i got about £4 a week ,when I started work in 64

I went to Athens to work as a Nanny in 1972 and was paid £20 a month plus living in.How I managed on that I will never know.Happy Days!

I started work for Cable & Wireless in Dec 1937 for the princely sum of 15 shillings per week.

Sorry Uzzi for PM. I meant to reply on here and pressed wrong button. Whoops!!

Having you own pub sounds like a dream job, but I guess it is extremely hard work.

Joanne my hat off to you for that.

from the age of 17 I only wanted 1 thing and that was my own pub. I did all the jobs going and the training courses, held other peoples pubs. I eventually bought my pub and sold it 2yrs later never again lol

I had a summer job in a greasy cafe when I left school in 1983. I did about 40 hours, but can't remember how much it paid. I started as a shy 16 year old, but after 6 weeks of serving all the builders and lorry drivers soon learnt the art of cheeky banter.

I started my first proper full-time job on 2nd July 1984 as a dental nurse. I worked 36 hours (excluding running late) and earned £47 per week. I had to give my mum £15 a week keep. The first thing I bought with my first wage packet was a bouquet of flowers for my mum.

BTW - I have only had two full time jobs. That one for 18 years, and my present for 6 years.

n I am stunned at what we earned then

45 quid a week, working evenings in the Fruitella factory. I had to give my Mum 15 of it, the rest used to keep me in fags and ran my social life! Hell, it even got me taxi's everywhere too!

It was 1985 fact fans :o))

Saturday job,plus school holidays, from when I was 13..wage: 15/- a day (75p). Increased to £1.00 a day at 16. Local greengrocers.

First proper job was in the Midland Bank .... wage £28 17/6 for the first month. 1969

I got half a crown for a paper round back in '64

1 pound for working 8 hours on a Saturday at Sayers!
1972

where did you work and what did you earn at what year ?
