Connexions is supposed to give careers advice for young people (which I belive is 18-) but they would almost certainly know who you should ask if you go and poke them :P Hell they could probably help, it's just not covered by their mandate ( ... )

Connexions give advice to teens 13-19. I know this because Adrian's daughter has been looking for a part time job.

Jobcentres are aimed at people without qualifications. I once tried looking for Physics graduate jobs on their computer, and found their were no jobs available in the entire European Community! I guess graduate employers advertise elsewhere. Try New Scientist.

Some more positive advice. Try www.prospects.ac.uk for careers advice for graduates.

Pathology is a medical degree thing. The Forensic Science Service is looking for chemistry or biology degrees at http://www.forensic.gov.uk/forensic_t/inside/career/opp_1.htm

Which Pete Townsend song is the theme song for CSI: West Midlands?

You might want to try skillset: http://www.skillset.org/uk/westmids/

I know there's a lot of money beig invested in the creative industries and you might find a visit to The pUBLIC in West Bromwich or to Millennium Point or the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design might help - BIAD is linked into gaming skills and is also involved (if it is still going) in the National Writers' Academy at UCE.

Pathology is hard to get into if you haven't gone on the right courses before applying. Not knowing what skills you already have, I can't tell if it might be a pipe dream without a fair bit of re-education. The best way in is usually to get a civilian job with the Police and get them to pay for your studies.
