i worked in an accounting office. They sat me down on a monday and set up a spreadsheet that had thousands of account details on them. They said that each individual one had an error in it, so i had to reinput the formula into the table. Come Friday when I left i was only half way through. It was that Friday I decided not to persue a career in Accounting ;)

I went to my dad's place last year called 'Barron McCann' and worked in the workshop. I programmed chip and pin card readers, Fixed some Laser Printers, Touch screens, keyboards and I even got to go into a small room and smash a till drawer around 'till it opend! :D I was happy with that as a works experience, but some of my mates had a crap time and didnt do much. I suppose it depends on what the employers want to risk letting you do.

Got stuck here for 2 weeks. http://www.cicl.co.uk/home.htm. Never seen so many nude/Page 3-esque calendars in one place. I did get to press the button that sent a ChampCars (I think) monocoque up a ramp to its doom. After returning to school, we had a feedback session in General Studies. The whole class couldn't believe I was allowed to do that. My teacher asked if I enjoyed it and was shocked when I said no! My bosses made me clean/hoover/polish the ENTIRE ramp afterwards. Not much fun getting and keeping a massive vacuum cleaner on a ramp that ends about 5m up in the air and remove loads of carbon fibre dust., I tell you.

I never did work experience at school either. I did, however, do some after I'd finish to pad out my resume. Which was sort of redundant because they offered me a job not long after I'd finished.

Lets face it, they won't see many real girls ;) I worked on a farm (wanted to be a farmer back then...), and it was slave labour for the most part, but I did get paid £80 at the end, and bought an entire Mega Drive with it, a huge step up from my humble Master System ;)
