    It's supposed to be 1 grand per month or 400 if staying with friends/relatives. But i doubt they'll check. I'd a mate visit me on the VWP and stayed for 2 months and he was never asked. You are legally entitled to 90 days so once you have a return flight before then you should be grand. But since you can't work i'd assume you have at least 2 grand anyways.

    There is no option to go work in the US for the summer outside of a J1 visa or other work visas which are designed for long term employment and can be difficult to get. Irish citizens can travel as part of the VWP and stay for 90 days. But you are not entitled to work or study under this.

    Usit have programs for summer camp work and such but you have to work within the program you apply for. You can't just go off and find your own job once you get there.
