Todd: Lois, what was your first job?

Lois: The first job I had was a sales assistant in a shoe shop.

Todd: Oh, shoes.

Lois: Shoe shop, yeah. When I was fifteen, I got my first job and I used to work every Saturday for maybe 8 hours a day and I used to earn 1 pound 77 pence per hour.

Todd: It doesn't sound like very much

Lois: No. So in England now, the minimum I think is maybe 5 pounds.

Todd: Oh, wow.So by the time I'd got the bus to Bournemouth, the town and bought my breakfast at Mcdonald's and then gone out for lunch and then got the bus home, I had no money left. Outrageous. But at the time, because I got paid at the end of the month, I always thought I had money because suddenly all this money would appear in my bank account but then I would have already spent it all within the day of work.

Lois: Wow. So how long did you last at this job?

Todd: I worked all together I think in three different shoe shops, so the first one I worked in for a year and then that one closed down. So then they moved me to another one, the same company and then from that one I moved to another one but then I had to leave my job when I had to do my exams at school cause I needed to study.
