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 used1 to work every Saturday for maybe 8 hours a day and I used to earn, 1 pound 77 pence2 per3 hour.
Todd: It doesn't sound like very much
Lois: No, so in England now, the minimum4 I think is maybe 5 pounds.
Todd: Oh, wow!
Lois: 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, but at the time cause 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 account5, but then I would have already spent it all, within6 the day of work.
Todd: Wow. So how long did you last at this job?
Lois: 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.
