Where did you do your work experience at school?

I was away for the week when people were choosing where they wanted to go so when i returned i got lumbered with boots which was all that was left, it was a mission from where i lived as well so i wasn't happy.

Turned out alright in the end though, i nicked loads of ck :)

I got sainsburys next to crayford dogs. was a bit cack but 2 of my best mates got the same thing so we had a laugh and there was a pool table in the canteen which was better than going to school

I wasn't interested in doing work experience, so i just stuck down Retail on the form and they put me in the local Driving Range Shop.

They didn't really want us there so they just kept giving us token's for the Ball machine and told us to just go hit Balls all day! It was awesome!

Spent a week as an Architect. Designed my own house on a program i think was called CAD? Was Well pleased with it. Guy said it was a very good first attempt but id forgotten to put a step in the door way and he said my house would flood. Sigh lol

Midland Bank. Got to drive round with a nice lady to obscure branches that only opened for half a day twice a week.

The best ones were at Universities. Some of the girls there were awesome.

I also got to load a cash machine. Oh man that was a lot of cash. About 40k if I remember correctly. A lot of money now but much more 18 years ago.

sports centre, played in the 5 a side hall (it used to be 3 v 3 if i remember right) good times!

Went to a local airfield. Nearly took the wings off a £250k plane on a fence. ;ashamed;

My school had different expectations for us. We went to the Dole Office and signed on :)

i worked at a local countrypark looking after there wildlfie zoo, foxes, badgers stoats things like that.

Dont do work experiance in borstal

i got 2.5 days in the lab and 2.5 days in the experimental kitchen of baxters

WTF is "Work Experience"?

My work experience was a job.

Yup, "Computer Aided Design".

It's what permitted untrained folks to become architects & draughtsman.

It was all the rage 20 years back, it's prob old hat now.

Received Two weeks at my requested Veterinary Surgeons.

mine was pointless aswell as i was already signed up by the army at the time started WE in the may and the army in the june

But what is it?

Another bit of Nanny State Nonsense?

yeah, thats why i stuffed 2 bottles of old spice and 4 tubs of sonatogen down my trouses everyday before i left, i was protesting against the state. ::)

I worked for the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie for my work experience. A unique preparation for working life

I knew it would be something like that, everyone else coming out with boots and sainsburys ::)

no its supposed to give school leavers a chance to experinace a "working week" before they join the workforce also to help people decide if the carear choice is correct

LOLOLOL

my was applicable then, i had a huge career in pharmaceuticals when i left school

Yup, Nanny State Nonsense.

same here i worked with loads of animals that stunk when i left school

you play poker for a living?  ;D

I was out of school when work experience was being sorted, so ended up just having to go to my mum's job with her for a week. Was ok, I just did a bit of data entry and fetched everyone's sandwiches at lunch time.

i  was a td for Grosvenor for 10 years

I tend to disagree. Part of schooling should be about preparing kids for live in the real world afterwards.  I'd say a week spent out and about in the workplace is likely to be of more use to most young adults than sitting in a classroom learning Latin or trigonometry.

yeah but what does some hippie putting a condom on a cucumber in sex education when you're in year 9 teach anyone about anything other than people with ponytails that go round schools doing sex ed are muppets, i mean who the fck doesnt know about that stuff by year 9, sometimes i think some of this stuff thats supposed to set you up for life is them just going through the motions.

(that being said i dont agree with the lib dems compulsory sex ed for 5 year olds either)

we never even got the fun of putting a condom on a cucumber :( When we disputed how useless our sex education classes were and asked for contraception to be covered the teacher said she could teach us the rhythm method only, and one girl in the class piped up saying why did we want to know that anyway, as none of us should be thinking of sex before marriage ::)

I did a week in the sports department at Westcountry TV in Plymouth. By sheer coincidence it was the same week that my sister's friend Karen Cross made round three at Wimbeldon. Managed to get them in contact with her fairly quickly. Was a fun week with lots of variety.

I did 2 weeks in a local small business. They sold hardware and the like. Was kind of tedious at times but the guys that ran it were good lads. They gave me £100 at the end of it too and I worked for them part time for the next 6 months.

I spent my time at a Vets.....

With snakes draped round my shoulders by over eager owners and cat's testicles being dropped on the floor after an unscheduled revival.....

Good days ;-)
