[Margaret Pilkington]

Cashy...you and I are roughly the same age.....but I didn't find it easy to get a job.
And it wasn't for the want of trying. I wrote letters and turned up at factories and offices.

Yes Less....I did get a job. My first wage was 50 shillings......and I worked five and a half days for that. For those who are resourceful there is always something out there....it might not be what you want to be doing for the rest of your life, but it gives you a start.
I know quite a number of young people....some of them do not put any effort into getting a job.
One lass I know has been working on Saturdays and Sundays at Next since she was 16, she also worked at the Walton Arms washing up in the evenings......to fund herself through University which she starts in October.....she actively went out and searched for these two jobs.......that is what you have to do.....get out there and show those who will pay you that you can put the effort in.
