  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I could sort of choose how productive I wanted to be, vI was expected to work independently; I knew what work I had to do over my 10 week placement and it was ip to me to see that it was done.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • How to work hard and professional I guess? Realistically though, I don't think there is an awful amount of overlap between real jobs and degrees...
