Tourism,
Catering & Hospitality
The
work is hard, the pay can be grim and the tourists in your
care may whine day and night. But who cares when the sun
is shining and it's raining back home
Ski
Jobs
Just because it turns
a bit parky we shouldn't all scurry off home. Instead,
head for the mountains if you want to work and party hard
in the snow. A knowledge of German, Italian or French
can be very helpful
Camp,
Leaders & Kibbutz
Ditch the concrete
jungle and head for camp. Because of US visa regulations
most, but not all, jobs at camp are open only to students.
Alternatively,
try a kibbutz in Israel
Childcare
& Domestic
Low paid but stable
way to stay abroad for a while. If you have common sense,
maturity and responsibility, a job can be found quickly
and easily
Teaching
English
A much in demand skill
you never knew you had. Such is the demand around the
world for English tuition, any native English speaker
with a suit and the confidence to face a class stands
a chance of picking up work
Agriculture
& Animals
Jobs in fields and farms.
Toil in the outdoors picking fruit or work with animals
Voluntary
Work
Unpaid positions
for those who care. In developing countries it's all there
is available to unskilled foreigners
Other
Work
There are many other
ways to finance a stay away from home. This part of PAYAway
deals with anything from skilled trades like accountancy
or nursing to subjecting your body to clinical medical
studies
