Wasn't sure where to put this, but would love to hear your views.
Dd1 needs to apply now for work experience placements for next year.
She has 'always wanted to be a vet' but tbh is only getting by in sciences, whereas it turns out she excels in languages (French and German). She is applying at our local animal pound, vet, and a nearby zoo. However I think she ought to apply for work experience somewhere relevant to her language skills as well. Any ideas of where or what? We live in Dublin..
She will need two placements, and I reckon will benefit from some variety (i.e. not both animal-related!). Here there is only one university that runs a course in veterinary science, and it's the one of hardest courses to get into. I don't want to be discouraging, but while my dd is bright I don't think she's going to get top marks in all her subjects, so think she should consider other degree courses/career choices too.
She is also apparently gifted at English writing and playing piano.
She's only 14 and 7 months but her school do place a lot of importance on work experience and it's a good opportunity to get a feel for potential careers.
Thanks
