This is a question Work Experience

We've got a work experience kid in for a couple of weeks and he'll do anything you tell him to... He's was in the server room most of yesterday monitoring the network activity lights - he almost missed his lunch till we took pity on him.

We are bastards.

How bad was your first experience of work?

a message to bushman and others....
while your work experience/job may sound like it's going to be good, ultimately it will be made up of the same mundanity as most other people's jobs.

I, for example, mainly make and run hydraulic models for modelling waves and flooding and stuff like that. doesn't sound too bad right?

it actually involves a lot of pissing about with excel, a lot of swearing at the modelling software and some headaches.

Ive also done some structural design. regardless of what the thing is going to be in the end, be it a massive prestigious bridge or building, or something small and shitty, the actual work that is done is more or less the same; it leaves you feeling kind of bored and chances are you won't see the end product.

welcome to the world

apologies for cynicism
