Just got my first full time job confirmed    
Was going to be getting an apprenticeship for mechanics, but I decided on laboring instead, and the chance to get an electrician apprenticeship with the company later on 
Will be getting £4.90 an hour, fucking good pay for a 16 year old. 12 Hour shifts though  
Il be able to afford my own insurance too, and the car will be on the road much sooner, since I can afford to fix it 
Might even get a 1.4 sport

Its roadworks, so might get a civil engineering apprenticeship. But RJ McLeods cover loads of areas, so I might get an electrical apprenticeship through them.

Well done mate
As others have said. You've gotta start somewhere.
But dont let the grass grow under your feet, keep a look out for jobs like yours but with a bit more pay. Infact you should always be looking for that
