My daughter-in-law was asked to sign a contract waiving her right to work no more than 48 hours a week for a declared salary of £17k which is just wrong (and illegal). Luckily she brought it round to ours first but how many people just sign?

Our (now) 20 year old left school after A levels. We kept him doing his paper round so he wasn't just sitting about at home doing nothing and now he works at a local antiques centre. It's minimum wage, but it's a start. The paper round got him the job because it proved he wanted to work and he got a good reference that said he never missed a day and was always on time. It's getting the first job that's key, you need to make yourself stand out though and be willing to accept whatever is going money wise.
