32 years
thankfully only about 10 years into London. 
I saw the light and went self emloyed about 16 years
With the exception of one bad period I've, thankfully, managed to keep busy.

:::Announcement::: This month commemorates my 25th year of working in full time employment. That's also 25 years of commuting on tubes and trains in to London (the only gap I had was 3 months unemployment). Personally I think I deserve a medal for the latter and maybe a few free years of travel! As I'm nosy I want to know how long people on here have been working so see the poll. |

This is hard to decide. I started my first job in 1980. I became self-employed in 2001, but have dipped in and out of paid work since. Technically, I am still self-employed, but with very little work around I may as well be unemployed. Let's pretend I've been working since 1980. I feel old. |

Since I left university in 1999 - so that's currently 13 years, with a break of seven months from when I was made redundant Christmas 2010. Also …  Mark |

Just in my 26th Year of what I would call “proper work” Basically I have ignored part time jobs I did when I was in college / Poly and the odd jobs I had until I started in Midland Bank after I left Poly. Since then I have (thankfully) been continuously employed although I did take a year’s sabbatical in 2004 but was still employed (just not getting paid) |

It's either 22 or 23. I can't be bothered to work work out the whole months thing... |

Taking into account breaks for college courses and being made redundant twice, I'd estimate 23 years. |

Well if I count my part time job working on the checkout at Sainsbury's then 14 years. I worked in a pub from 18 years so that was 12 years ago. Erm... I need to change my vote. I put myself down for 15 to 19. |

I had my first job (sticking bits of leather together with super-glue and guillotining the heads off nails) age 14 back in 1984 and I've not had a year without work since. However, "proper job" as in full-time I started a couple of years after I left college. I've been doing the same Telecom stuff ever since with just 3 months unemployed when I was made redundant 3 years ago, and a few months as a software dev for a company that went bust. |
