Hey guys I'm wondering what are the best jobs for an 18 year old in the UK the reason I say UK is because jobs vary around the world. I know the main ones such as McDonalds but I was wondering what other ones are good to earn some money.
Cheers.

Restaurants and Retail are always a smart choice at a young age. Good experience to put on a resume and you can meet references for future jobs.

Fast food places are normally the best place to start off at, minimum wage has gone up a decent amount.

I started working in the bank at 18, so any job is possible. I mean you have your grades so you can apply for anything within reason and work your way up the ranks. Just depends on what you want to do and what industry you want to work in.

My little sister is 18 and she works for a chip shop
Locally owned, not a chain
If you can manage to find a locally owned business, they're usually more generous with their wages and are more understanding when it comes to time off/occasional late comings
vs
A chain store like Tesco or Morrisons who will throw the book at you whenever they can

You should look for a job that you think but suits you. Even if that means you have to go through the extra education for it
