Im working for David S Smith's, we are a packaging company, making cardboard boxes, not the most interesting job, but for factory work it's a good laugh.
As for pay, well i started on £6.50ph two years ago tomorrow, and am now on £7.00ph just this week got a rise too £7.78 so not doing too bad.
Also i've the opportunity too do shift work in january, 6am-2pm one week, 2pm-10pm the next! on 18k p/y
Never thought i would be doing it for long, but it's piss easy money, so i think ill stay for a while longer!

Liverpool Community College, yes enjoy it, we generally do OK when compared to other colleges in the sector. Got there by doing some networking work years ago while I was still at uni and being offered hours making guest appearances here and there to cover the stuff the existing staff couldn't. I'm now running that course. My degree didn't currently assist me in getting the job although next jump up the ladder will require one. I also needed to do a few years worth of teaching qualifications.

I have just started to work at Next, i don't enjoy it at all, as because im new i dont have a clue what to do, and have been put onto shoes for the past couple of shoes and it's really boring
I earn £4.55 an hour which isn't to bad, as minimum wage for a 16 year old is about £3.50 or something isn't it...
I applied for a full time job in June last year before i started college, although they only just got in touch with me 2 weeks ago
But im only a temp over xmas! aren't i glad haha!

whats so difficult about retail??? its easy, all you have to do is talk to custmers, make sales by asking open ended questions, make sure you have company and product knowledge, and when you are not busy make sure you are tidying or replenishing stock
