I was an office junior when i finished school, lasted 8 months. I was working a 40 hour week (though i was out of the house 12 hours a day including travelling). I was earning £70 per week, which is £1.75 per hour, it cost me £15 in bus fairs every week and mum was taking £25 board off me, so i was left with just £30 per week after working full time. My mates who chose to go to college were getting that from the government just for turning up to their classes!!!! Needless to say i soon realised i'd made a rather big mistake! lol!
