Any job would do
by Sammy
I just need a chance to get started
I don't really know what I want to do in the future. I've applied for a few shop jobs but haven't found any work. I just need a chance to get started and get my confidence. I want to work in a shop and I wouldn’t mind what it is. If I just got a job, that’s how I'll start off and if I like it in a shop then I'll carry on, if not then I'll try and get something else and if I want something like good, I’ll go to college and that; or I'll try to.
