Really, I can't talk the only job I have got is to sell images and layouts to people and DJ Obv. But you can't be to young to get a Job. My paper boy (well girl) is about 8 or 9 looking at her.

Good luck in getting a job first.. No you shouldn't be embarrsed and how should we know if you should be or not? :S

I've been a 'rent boy' for the past 6 months so if you want embarrsing that is.

• £3.53 an hour for young people (often known as the youth rate)

I'm 17 right, yeah. I work in a retail shop, heck its not even a proper shop its just a little corner in another shop.. And i get paid £6.26 a hour, so you saying shops will pay min wage is not directly true..

I recently got a Sunday job at Waitrose paying just under £6 an hour. Now, because I am working on a Sunday there I get payed time and a half, so that I end up getting paid for 12 hours instead of 8 hours I actually do.

Ontop of that they have a bonus scheme at the end of each year, where you get so much of your total income by that date. With that become major discounts on local cinemas, bowling etc and then the major theme parks where friends can get in cheaper too.

It's a great place to work, so frankly it is worth it.
