Science Forums 2

This is off topic of the forum i think but thought it would fit here better than any of the others, and i feel hypography would be good site to ask it so hopefully i can be forgiven.

Anyway, im after for a job in a field that im interested in and am looking for advice on a way to go about it. The field of interest is mainly biology, although genetics, chemistry etc., is of course of interest as well. I dont have any qualifications in the subject, although am in the process of working towards my degree in biology with home study (1 year in so far part time, 6 in total they say).

Obviously i dont expect to get anything of note in the field straight away, but just as long as it's in the field would be great. An assistant or something i was thinking; carry this, type that, dig a hole whatever.

So that's my idea. My question is how may i go about getting something like this? I look at job sites all the time but dont ever seem to see anything of the sort. Descriptions always ask for degree or something in the respective field, which i havent got yet.

I was thinking maybe write to a university to see if any of their professors/researchers need a grunt for something, but is this the right thing to do you think? Maybe they'd think i was crazy wondering what this wacko is doing writing to them asking for a job when he hasnt got any education (GCSE's, adv GNVQ only).

Sick of the jobs i have you see and would love to get into biology before im qualified so to speak. I seem to be at a loss so any help or knock in the right direction of how i may go about it would be wonderful.

Thanks
