First job/ Last or current Job
I reckon there could be some interesting replies [hopefully ]
Mine
My first job was as a shipping clerk with the grandly named Dundee , Perth and London Shipping Company where the clincher was the use of an NSU Quickly Moped -in my defence I was only 16 at the time.
Current job is Housing Officer with SCC for Golden Grove [ close to SMS ] and the posh part of Swaythling !!

Re: First job/ Last or current Job
Oh, go on then. Not exciting really.
First (about a thousand years ago) was an apprentice engineering fitter, working at Johnson & Johnson.
Currently, Analyst/Developer working at an Investment Bank in the City. How I got from greasy rag to toe-rag I'll never know.

Re: First job/ Last or current Job
First, at the age of 14, was at GA Day, 'Daytona' Electrical Wholesalers, Northern Rd for which I was paid a handsome £3.6.8 (that's £3 6 shillings and 8 pence to the youngsters). At 16 I became Apprentice Engineer at CEGB (the Hard) power station.
Now retired and enjoying the good life in sunny Spain.
