Re: Work experience
I have to admit that my son was lucky enough to do his work experience at the Royal Free, at 16, on a course usually reserved for 18 year olds. He did a stint in eye theatre, assisted in A&E (he held a leg for the Orthpaedic Registrar!) and had a great time. He loved every minute of it.
Having been a school governor for years, I can tell you that it is difficult enough to get employers to take people on for work experience. If they had to pay them, forget it. There are also a great many jobs where you aren't qualified to do much, but at least you get a taster of what the work is like.
My daughter did her work experience in Battersea Park Zoo - said it was just like being at home!
