Whatever local hospitals are in your area - check out their websites. They always list current job availabilities. At 17, you won't be doing anything major.
You can always call HR and ask if you're allowed to work there at 17 or if you can only volunteer (basically helping the staff where needed or showing patients and families where to go or be in the gift shop).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
