"Work Experience"

Okay, so I need to find somewhere to participate in work experience in the near future and I have very few ideas of what I want to do. I was wondering if anybody on here could reccommend a general activity they did for it, so I could get some ideas, and see how much they enjoyed it (and etc.).

Thanks very much, and I would have put this in general chat but i'd rather get some more intelligent opinions. :-D

I worked in a pet shop, it was bloody fantastic. I got to work with rabbits, chinchillas, rats, hamsters, gerbils, budgies, fish, and a few more i cant remember. The shop had its own talking parrot too.

I got all my meals for free too. I was sad to leave. :(

I'm not a big animal fan personally, so I think that is probably off the list.

I worked at a place where people would leave their pets while they went away. Kennels & Cattery or something. I'm sure homeless animals were there too.
It really opens your eyes. Awww, I wanna work with animals! They're so cute!1!. When in reality, they stink, bite, jump-up with s**t and wee on their paws & .. stink again. But hey, that's dogs, no? No! Mine smell like.. dog! ;) Besides, half of those animals weren't even tame. And the people working there treated the dogs like absolute crap. They would cut them when trimming their fur, leaving them bleeding! Really careless.

Anyway. I recommend you work somewhere similar to that. Fantastic!

Who was that aimed at and what relevance does it have?

what dont you stack shelfs at asda

I worked at a print and design company, the same one I also did my job shadow at (only focussing on a more specific section). I found most of it very interesting and they let me do a lot of hands on stuff which helped maintain entertainment. I did spent a day in the finance section which sucked balls - but overall very good.
