I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every summer in high school and college.

When I was young I had an apprenticeship as an engineer.
I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.
I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.
From 1965 to 1974, I served the best possible apprenticeship for an actor. I learned firsthand how a truck driver lives, what a bartender does, how a salesman thinks. I had to make a life inside those jobs, not just pretend.
I left school when I was 16; then I worked for my father, who was a welder. And I was a welder for three years, you know, welder of fabrication, metal 'cause it was a big industrial town, Sheffield. It was much steel and coal and stuff like that.
My first job was in retail at the age of 14, and I have worked in the industry ever since.
When I left school at 16, I became an apprentice television and radio technician, and was paid £17 a week, which was decent money in 1976. But the job turned sour when I gave myself an electric shock while repairing a television set.

As soon as I left school at 16, I worked in a factory making aircraft components.
I started working when I was 9 or 10.
