luckily hired as a full time accounting staff doing accounts payable and auditing at affiliated company while still at university.
My first job was working for the Inland Revenue in the self employed taxation department. Whilst still at school, I also worked in a shop selling fabrics, fortunately I was in soft furnishings as I hate sewing and dress making
