While at university I took a number of vacation
jobs. To a nicely-brought-up girl from a rich family, the
feeling of sitting eight hours a day packing chocolate buttons
was indescribable.
I also remember the feeling of being a non-person as a tea-lady
to the managers and secretaries of a small firm. I hope the
custom of students doing physical labour continues. For many
of us it is the first time we have been in close contact as
equals with members of the working class.
