i thought so aswell. they did it last year and they got 2 weeks off. its stupid tbh. i want to do work experience during my college time, not during my own time.

[OMGitsaROSS]

I am not having it tomorrow, just organising it.

I bet I get a really crap day for me. >_>

That's quite bad really :S Work experience is quite a big part of schooling and stuff.

[OMGitsaROSS]

Not really imho.

I rekon it is completely pointless x[

[dirrty]

i know, i want to do it. i was bare looking forward to it while i was in year 9.

ok anyway, yeah I've asked two places [planning ahead for next year] and both have been like 'nosoz we dnt do it for 15 yr olds only 18 yr olds' but when you're 18 it's not work experience, is it? I can see me ending up working with my nan >.> lmao. hoping to get into anglia in luton for media.
