    I did mine in a magistrate's court where I got to spend all day sitting in on cases. About 50% of them were drunk driving cases.

    Went to a Genomics department in a university. Was pretty cool, and they strangely did alot of the stuff I subsequently studied at A-level, so that made it easier. What was quite worrying however was the fact that if there was a fire in the building, there was some legal thing where the fire brigade weren't allowed to come and put it out because of the chemicals stored in the place .

    Yeah, my first work experience I went to a pre-school. Most the kids were really sweet, although I didn't want to work with them in the long run. I kinda just went there to slack off xD

    After that I went to a place and I was SUPPOSED to be on computer but instead I put things in envelopes >_< Sooo boring.

    I've never done an organized "work experience" thing, but I do have to do an internship soon. ;_;

    I did mine a while back actually...
    I was lucky enough to get into British Airways ^^ It was great!
    We got to see all the different areas of looking after a commercial airline. It was very interesting, and alot more fun than ordinary school XD
    Definately worthwhile :3.

    I didn't do work experience. And because of that I had to show around the little primary school kids who came to visit the school.

    I'm on Work experience at the moment.
    I didn't have a clue where I wanted to do it at first, so I ended up just getting it in a clothes shop where I go frequently, as the person who owns it is friendly.

    Its okay, but I wish I had done it in an office or something now, as thats probably where I'll be working when I leave school.

    I should be at work now, but my boss let me leave an hour early because hes really nice. Plus I get clothes for trade price.

    Only complaint that I have about it is that I have to work Saturdays, and I've got to do it for two weeks. Plus, the fact I've had other jobs, and I'm used to getting paid for them. :rolleyes2
