Worked in a summer school teaching English as a second language for a few months. Also had a rather unimpressive 10 day stint in a patisserie :p:

A 'womens centre'. Was pretty boring, and horrible when all these women came in crying and beaten up and whatever.
Got to open all their post though :cool:

The Army= No.1 (Household Division) Army Youth Team.. It was a great 2-week resedential trip in Pirbright, Surrey. We somewhat experianced life as a soldier at camp. e.g. involved assault courses, team building exercises, command tasks and drills. We even had a shot at some of the elements of the basic training test, which i narrowly passed. Greatest bit was hanging around with a few of the soldiers. Great experiance.

It was good and I really enjoyed it but it was nothing like any of TV shows. Purely lab work and it was in fact SOCO (Scene of Crime Officer) that actually collected the evidence while it was Special Constables that pieced the evidence together and solved the case.

It depends which aspect of the phase you are loving. I really liked the wierd hours and going on scene aspect cause I hate the idea of an office/lab job. It's why being a doctor has always appealed to me.

In yr10 for "take your daughter to work day" I spent a day at the secondary school my mum works at. Was quite fun, made friends with the girls, but it was a long day- 8am-8pm as I had to stay afterwards for parents evening.
In yr11 I spent a week and two days at a charity which was rather dull. I spent most of the time packing boxes for this charity bike ride they were organising.
Currently just about to send letters off to three Lords and MP in the hope of getting some politically related work experience.

3 weeks at a nature reserve which was great. I volunteered there in the summer afterwards and did it for my duke of edinburgh service. I did really varied work there, so it didnt really get boring.

2 weeks at body shop(july 2005) it was boring and interesting at the same time. My mates worked in shops in the highstreet ,so that was fun. Also I got gifts at the end ,but my last day was especially interesting when this crazy women just started kicking off in the middle of shop! she kept saying that she hated george bush and tony blair.
