im seriously considering fooking off for the summer as im going to be relocating down south in a few months time to thames valley, and cant be arsed getting some shit job over here long crappy hours for crappy money, as its going to be my last chance my rents are saying i should go abroad for 3 months and have a summer to remember.

just wondering what sort of money you get for bar work abroad i dont expect it to be anything decent just aslong as its plenty to survive on.

davey, my mate worked as a club rep for a year. said the hours were loing but its not really working its just like being a leader of a group of piss heads lol.
said the money was about 100quid a week, but all food and drink was free. so 100quid a week for what ever.

he said its piss easy to get laid aswell lol. "having the 18-30 club rep shirt on is like a 1 way ticket to fanny"



do it pal, i would

I'm coaching (ice and roller hockey) in America as of June 5th until August 29th (ish), bout 3 months. Probably spend a month in CA (California) after it. Get accomodation/food/majority of my travel (not all of it) and insurance for 3 months for free. I also get paid at the end of it .

Bar work in america is alright pay from what i was told by a mate who did it but you gotta be 21+.

Not much help to you because i'm an international player and AFAIK your not but, CCUSA and Camp America do good summer jobs for people, CCUSA is better than Camp America though . Recommend you look into it but you'll have to do it quick because camp starts Around May 28th-June 6th, that's the kids summer start anyway. 3 months away from everything, fit international and local staff, in the middle of nowhere, you do the math.

But if you just want cheap slags and to work long hours in a bar, you're more suited to 18-30 .
