Don't just think of volunteer digging. As a forty-*cough* year old undergrad, I've picked up a month's work experience in post-ex at a unit near me - I believe this is usually aimed at 17-18 year old school leavers. I'm expecting to rinse and label bits of pot for a month. As well as being usefully hands-on, it's a way of getting to know people and starting to understand how the industry ticks. If there's a unit local to you, find out if they have an outreach officer and get on the blower. If you don't ask, you don't get.
I'm unlikely to scare up the sort of digging history required in most job ads by the time I graduate, and anything I do find is unlikely to be to commercial standards. I'm needing to think sideways a bit to maximise what (probably woeful) chances I have of employment in two years' time. Join me in the Masochism Tango...
