As a result I kept working in the same industry and now run a company doing a similar thing - so it's a shame to hear work ex is dying out!I do work ex for things that sometimes don't interest me. I just keep adding things to a CV. Most people disregard things that aren't relevant to a job field, but literally anything you do in a working atmosphere can give you the edge. Not only does it open more doors, it provides you with that edge in question. I highly disagree with anyone who says it is not important or in any way diminishing. In an age where there are more people than ever applying for jobs, it's ever more important and relevant to have an edge - even if it's in a job field that has nothing to do with the job you're applying for.
Conversely, I enjoyed school at the time but would rather lick wasps than go back for a day.
