I even did work experience at Sea World - though even at the tender penguin-scrubber wanna-be age of 16 I knew I didn't want to be working with the dolphins, because the people who wanted to work with the dolphins were always slightly unbalanced (apologies to my friends who work on dolphins:). I worked in the the aquarium and fed reef fish mushed-up rotten prawns. It was much more sexy, but I got really sick and spewed in the car on the way home... Anyway, they did give me a swim with the dolphins in the end, but one of the little buggers bit me on the ankle! He must have known that I was not a dolphin scrubber!
