Where can I find work experience?

I am 15 years old and am interested in doing work experience in the following areas(or similar) : pharmaceuticals, biotechnology,nanotechnology. I live in the Hampshire/Surrey, England and it would be really helpful if someone could give me an idea of where to start. Thanks

Where can I find work experience?
The best thing is having an inside connection. If you can find someone you know who works at a company you're interested in, you just need to get your foot in the door. I work at a pharma in the US and we have interns all the time. You don't necessarily have to have your hands on the technology/product to learn, it could be something as menial as filing or answering the phone. Once you get in though, get to know people, ask questions, and learn from experienced people. It sounds like I'm telling you to steal company secrets, but that's not it. I'm always happy to explain an assay or the proper way to get things done to youngins' like yourself...even though I'm not that old.
Reply:approach som professorin school nrby ur place for summer internship or som small independent project maybe,.........
Reply:Don't start to big, just in a café or something. That'a a base to get off from.
Reply:What is the legal age for workers in England? You should try an entry level position at a grocery or drug store. As a matter of fact, for a beginner like you any job should do it.
