Hey
This may seem like going backwards but there are two things i would suggest, if you are under twenty six there is something called Project Scotland, there may be something similar elsewhere in Britain. This is a government supported scheme that gives young people full on real work experience, and sort of paid with an allowance, a budget for PPE and for training, accomodation is often provided. Placements are for multiples of three months, up to two years i think. We had a couple of Project Scotland Rangers and one of them has become a seasonal and has a great future in conservation. I wish there was something out there when i was younger it kind of breaks the catch 22.
The other thing that is worth looking into is the BTCV Natural Talent Scheme, their main qualification is enthusiasm and interest and there are specialist subjects and no age limit. Look around there may be other things like this.
