£95 a week is shit mate, proper shit, is it below minimum wage? :S Because it sounds stupidly low! 17 or not.

I'm 18 and and get £80 a day! And I can't remember the last time I did an 8 hour day!

EDIT: Just dawned on me its an Apprenticeship, Min. wage is 80 a week.

Should look for a job for a construction firm, building roads, wind farms etc

I started a few year ago with RJ McLeod's, no experience of the work needed.. Labouring, and within a few weeks the foreman put me forward for my dumper & roller tickets

A bad week is £400 after tax, good week near £500 after tax. 6 day week was £680 after tax, and did a full 7 day week once and had 970 purps dished into my bank account

No experience necessary, don't exactly need a massive CV either

Fuck working for peanuts
