First 'proper' job was 3 days a week in the music department at Channel 4 for £440 per month in 1993, supplemented with £20 a day when I could get it in a music PR company....that was tough as my rent was £250 per month and travelcard was £80 per month...fortunately at that time I met my (now) wife who had a proper job as a television researcher earning £25k pa, so she sponsored me until I went full time at BMG Records for the princely sum of £16k pa in 1994.... Still work in PR and fortunately earn a bit more now.
