Answer:Dickens didn't have many true employers during his life. He spent about eight months when he was 12 years old working at Warren's Blacking Factory, applying labels to bottles.

He worked in law offices during his teens, while learning shorthand. He then used it to become a court and political reporter.

But by 24, he was already a successful author and would never work for an employer again.
