Having a job has definitely changed me and made me stronger - Matt @ Wetlands Nursery

I’ve been working here at Wetlands Nursery for six and a half years. I start work at 8:00am and finish at 4:30 and work three days a week. I like working here, being outside, it's quiet and every day is different.

I also get to work with different kinds of people. My work involves filling trays with plants and mowing the lawns. I was nervous when I started here, but it did not take me long to get over my nerves and I really enjoy working outside.

Working makes me feel like I have actually achieved something. If you don’t work, life can be a bit boring. I like spending the money I earn on shopping and going to the movies. At work, it’s good to have people to talk to and I like having friends I’ve made at work. My boss is great and I can talk to him when things are not working out for me. Having a job has definitely changed me and made me stronger.
