When I was in school I worked at a Dairy Queen for 2 weeks before finding that I couldn't stand it. When I got out of college I worked at a pharmacy/store, then I worked at Petsmart and Subway for a few years.

I worked 10 hrs a day at a riding school/ stud farm in exchange for 2 riding lessons a week. I loved it and only stopped as my uncle offered to buy me a horse and pay me £35/ wk to do his housework.

Well I started working in a Cafe when I was 12 the owners also had a clothes shop which I worked in too, when I left school I got a job in an Office of an Enterprise Company I carried on working in the Cafe at eveninig and weekends and the office during the day, this lasted till I was 19 and I finally gave the cafe up as I was doing 8-5 in the office then 6-10 in the Cafe during the week and Saturday's and Sunday's in the Cafe. That said I was loaded lol cause I was just paying my mother digs and nothing else everything else was mine!
