short concerns but big ones! you are definately ready for work exp-you are not yet ready for a £25,000 per annum job and you are not asking for that. Always good to worry about being good enough-it means you will approach each project with 100% commitment.You are going to gain experience and they will expect you to have had 2 years graphic design education nothing more and you have that. as for last question-that's up to you to research,contact and arrange placement with somewhere you think you may enjoy/gain from.
