Giuliana-
You can use intervals of unequal lengths for a discrete or, in your
case, grouped, survival analysis. But exactly what information on job
history was obtained at each interview?
If you obtained more specific information the date of the first real
job, use that information to define your time variable. For people
who had never gotten a "real job", the last observed interview will
serve to define censoring points.
Stephen Jenkins has some excellent resources about survival analysis.
