    Do kids still do work experience at school, where they go out to work for a local employer?

    That's good then, I wondered if it was still a thing, best insight to the outside world, I assume the kids are taking any places available.

    Yeah, had a few. Realised how much of a burden I would have been during my W/E weeks.

    Yeah I did a few, I remember doing one at an Estate Agents, got rewarded for it to - but it was so fooking boring, especially in the shop/office - it was ok, when we went out to look at properties, I quite liked that bit. Wondering to myself at the time why someone would buy an old shack in the middle of no where.

    I think so, I generally see a number over the year.
    They have to go through a “young persons risk assessment process” before they arrive. I’m not sure if that’s a legal requirement or just our companies policy?

    I did in a Building society which was actually pretty interesting particularly the mortgage section . Only problem was the nearest accessible toilet was in a portacabin type toilet block the other side of the main precinct in town so to have a slash i was gone for nearly 20 mins and that was oif no-one was using the bog when i got there .

    I was sent to the Job Centre for a weeks work experience. I honestly think it was the school being funny and a sly dig about how they seen my future. I enjoyed it, though. They had a whip round for me and everything at the end of the week.

    thats why we liked them "just file these theres a good lad" . In jobcentres they didn't employ the lowest grade unlike the DHSS officers so trained advisors who were 2 grades higher did their own filing ffs .
    The assault bit was ever present and could sometimes be "interesting" when you bumped into them in a pub later .:emoticon-0107-sweat

    I couldn't be living with all that debt to stay on at school. For me that was at least 3 years head start on anyone staying on, and accumulting by the year. Imagine people that stay in the system learning until they are in their mid-twenties, that's a whole decade. Yeah the latter would get a good wage at the end of it, but wasn't for me. I enjoy learning now I'm older, but just didn't have the concentration when I was younger, well my brain still switches off at times now, but with old age and slowing down, not everything is such a rush in life.
