    That depends what you want to do really. If for example you want to be a doctor or dentist it's essential.

    Work experience is always useful for helping you decide whether you want to do the job in the future.

    WE is quite useful... even at this stage you can get a rough idea as to your probable workplace life in the future, say you want to become a doctor and you are in a hospital all day, you can interact with people and see their life.. Trust me, it's for your own benefit!
