'I have to get up at 4.30 a.m. to collect the
newspapers from the shop. My round includes 9
streets. I have to fold the papers and push them
through the letter box of each house. … I do have
to work on Sundays though. This is the busiest day
and the papers are very heavy. My parents give me
some pocket money in addition to the money I
earn from my job. I get £10 a week to spend on
whatever I want. My parents say it is very
important to earn your own money. If I didn't do
this job, they wouldn't give me any pocket money
at all.'

good allowance of £100 a month. I work for 6
weeks during the summer. About 80 children
come to the Youth Centre every day. In the Centre
there are 6 Assistants like me, and a Play Leader.
…This year it is my responsibility to take the

is a big hall on it with hundreds of slot-machines.
People come to the arcade and I change their
money for them. The worst thing is that my hands
get very dirty from all the money I handle. I earn
the minimum wage for my age. I am a university
student, so I need to save money to pay for my
tuition fees.'

This is the best job in the world. My parents have
many friends with younger children. They call me
when they want to go to a restaurant or pub for the
evening. … The children almost never wake up,
