I should really say the age when I started full time employment (40hrs/week plus two evenings/week at night school). I was 17 years and 1mth at the time which was actually quite old because my birthday fell early in the academic year. And my mother started at 15.
Anyhow it got me thinking because the UK Government is considering increasing the school leaving age to 18 years.
That was all, I’m not trying to make a point of whether it’s good or bad to start paid employment young or relatively young, I was just musing, and sometimes needs must when the devil drives…
