[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 7914991, member: 971"] Yup, at age 18, my pre-Uni year was £10/week, portakabin accommodation, but no bills and food provided, long hours, but (with no prior experience but a good head on my shoulders and a reliable grafter) my goodness me I learned a lot and we had such a laugh (several youngsters there). 1980's, 210 cows + followers/beef, bottling milk/cream, poultry, small sheep flock, Christmas poultry, layers, bit of veg for the farm shop. I'm not endorsing the £10/week, even then, but I had tried for 5 months writing job application letters/phone calls. The most memorable rejection was 'oh we only employ girls in the packhouse, they are not allowed to drive tractors' (from one of Britain's largest and best known bulb growers at the time). That job was exactly the grounding I needed and the experience and training was worth far more than an extra ££££ per week. [/QUOTE]
