I was the intern who stole loo roll from Tatler, now I realise I was lucky

Gen Zers are entering a bleak job market, but are attacking it with verve if one job won't cut it, get two!

THERE'S a story that might get me arrested: when I was an intern at Condé Nast in 2011 working for minimum wage at society bible Tatler (probably the only person in the entire editorial staff who'd gone to a state school but that's a story for another day) - I regularly stole toilet paper from the office bathrooms. All in, I was getting paid around £750 a month, which covered the rent on my single room in Holloway (prison cell small, and it didn't come with a wardrobe), bills, some travel and left me with about £1.65 a day for food.
