John Lennon and Paul McCartney were students. George Harrison was an apprentice electrician. Ringo Starr was an apprentice engineer.
John Lennon swept his stepfather's pub for pocket money, and worked briefly for his local water board. (He swore later that he'd never held a regular job, but an employee record and work card turned up in the last few years.)
Paul McCartney tried winding cable for a day and was fired; he spent the 1960 Christmas holidays working as a delivery boy for SPD.
George Harrison apprenticed as an electrician for Blackler's Department Store in Liverpool; he quit after the Beatles began to get regular bookings.
Ringo Starr worked briefly for British Railways, but quit when they wouldn't give him a uniform; he later worked as a mechanical engineer's apprentice, until he became a professional drummer. He played with 'Rory Storm and the Hurricanes' before he joined 'The Beatles'.

∙ 14y agoJohn Lennon and Paul McCartney both collected art and antiques. Lennon read avidly, and collected books and rare records. McCartney loved tending the farm he bought in Scotland, traveling, and even took music lessons after The Beatles were famous. George Harrison enjoyed motor racing, tending his garden, and also studied music, with Ravi Shankar. Later he immersed himself in Hindu spirituality. Ringo Starr played host at his own bar (called The Flying Cow), and spent much of his free time with his wife and children.
