      I had a paper-round when I was 13 and had a few saturday jobs whilst I was still at school, working in restaurants and shops. When I went to univeristy I worked nights at the post office sorting the mail to earn some money. It takes a very long time to train to do what I do now so I guess I got my first proper paid job in science when I was 25.

      My first proper full time (no more education) job was at 23 when I finished University, but I had lots of part time jobs since I was 14 – paper rounds, supermarker checkout, cook in a cafe, market research interviewer………..
