    Best thing I have ever done X2

    2 of the best summers ever, Loads of work in a range of industry's, Bar, Restaurants, Labouring, Some office work, Amusement Park (great for the women)

    You get enough wages and tips to pay rent, food and 2 or 3 days on the lash or sightseeing

    Id recommend it to anyone

    That sounds great..id only love to go. Did you need to have any experience or qualifications for any of those? I havn't got any exp at all. and having people you want to go with aswel is another worry :/ and just out of col at 19/20 cant get a part time job in a shop even,here.

    I'll have to do more courses and go then maybe, havn't a notion..and its not fully up to me, the oul buck with the wallet expects me to get a job and stop scabn off him asap but doesn't want to pay for sending me to any more college or abroad.
    in bit of a bind!

    I have been thinking about going next year for the summer and what i have found by asking around and researching is that you dont need qualifications just a little experiance would help. Im goin on my own so far but it would be better to bring someone. It will hopefully be easy to get a job just ask around and you will be fine.
