I'm in my first year of high school, and my school has a program in which we have to choose a praktikum, i.e. we have to ''work'' in a shop/company/whatever for 1 week.
I play starcraft a lot and have been thinking about some possibilities like a cyber cafe, a gaming magazine, etc.
Do you guys have any ideas? Or possibly any experience with the subject? The place where I work can be literally anything official, they just have to accept a 16 y/o to work there.

What do you want to do for a living the rest of your life? Try and get a job in that area. You probably won't get any interesting work, but at least you'll see how things work and you get to know some people, which might help you later.

Sounds like a great idea, but few people here are going to be able to help you with specifics since you live in the Czech Republic... How about you just get on Google and start calling companies? Check your phone book for local places as well. Just keep calling until somewhere says yes.

i remember being a teen.

scorch explained it all. xd

although, in all seriousness, when you get older gaming starts to suck, and you lose interest. xD
that's just me though.

I work part-time dealing cards for a casino-party company and we have a couple kids earning their practicum with us. If you're not interested in "taking it seriously" and actually learning what you're there to learn, just do something like this: something that's fun. If you're interested in learning how the world really works and motivating yourself to go to college and improve your education, work industrial.

I dropped out of college my Sophomore year and got a job making cabinet doors for 40 hours a week. The pay was incredible for requiring zero experience (hell I never even took SHOP), but it wears on you. When you're in college working 10 hours a week and studying 50 hours -- working hard and eating Top Ramen, the thought of full-time work that pays $12.50/hr is AMAZING. Surprisingly enough, working in a factory or on the assembly line is really shitty, which is why they have to pay so much.

It's not really something you can learn without experiencing it, and IMO that's the reason that high schools have you do that practicum -- to learn what life is like for a guy without an education. Go get yourself on the swing shift at your local industrial plant for a week, and you'll be getting your post-grad degree for sure ;-)

Yeah I would say go for the area which you wish to work with in the future. Granted, this can change later on, but at least you got some experience.

We got to do this in high school as well and as a musician I chose a company which delivers sound and lighting for events. Gave me a great understanding of how it works backstage of an event.

Yes, that's a part of the problem. I have no idea about what I want to do for a living. And I really don't feel like deciding, I still have 3 years for that..

Sounds like a great idea, but few people here are going to be able to help you with specifics since you live in the Czech Republic... How about you just get on Google and start calling companies? Check your phone book for local places as well. Just keep calling until somewhere says yes.

That part won't be too hard I suppose, the real problem for me lies in the fact that I do not know which companies would interest me. As for the Czech Republic issue, things are really similiar to germany here, and I could go and do it in germany as well(german school, anyway). As I said, deciding what branch I want to be doing is the real issue.

Just as a side question, do you regret dropping from college?
Anyway, I kinda understand that that would be an important lesson in my life but granted, I just want to feel how a work I could potentially do would work out, what I would have to do, and anything along that.

Yeah I would say go for the area which you wish to work with in the future. Granted, this can change later on, but at least you got some experience.

Well, I'm sadly not a musician. My hobbies are jogging, basketball, and PC. That's why I was thinking of something PC related, like a gaming magazine.

Anyhow, thanks everyone for the feedback. I guess the real problem lies in my indesicivity to choose something related to working, but I would still find any experience with working at something gaming related very helpful.
