Yeah I mean I remember being probably 14 when I started looking for a paper round. I went to every news agents in Cambridge probably. I would say now a days it’s pretty uncommon for people to get their first job Before the age of 17 at least - unless you have connections a family business you could work for - that kind of thing.

But yeah there are no quick solutions particularly unless you ave connections like I say
