OK so gist is I want to go and work in the US of A next summer. Theres a number of dfferent ways to go go about this that I know of I want your opinion and if you know of any other ways.

Ok so number 1 Camp America. Going working in camp for a summer. Upsides I think I would really like to get involved with all the activities etc, and I'd like the whole atmosphere. Downsides bad pay comparetivley and being around kids 24/7 and not much freedom to party, smoke etc.

Number 2. Work America scheme with BUNAC, picking a placement somewhere anywhere (usually in a hotel themne park etc). Goos sides more freedome to do what I pleased, more money. Downsides might have to pay for accomodation and food (some employers include), perhaps lack of jobs.

Number 3. Find an internship somewhere. Upsides good work experience to put on CV toward a future career, bad side won't get paid which means I probably would never be able to afford it.

Ok so opinions please and any other ways that you know of?

Number 3 sounds awesome if you win the lottery

Number 2 sounds okay if they give you food and accommodation, if not it doesn't matter how much it pays.

Number 1 is the one if they don't do what I mentioned in number 2.

And, so this Christmas?

Number 2 sounds best. Unless there is a lack of job opportunities, in which case number 2 would suck. Number 1 sounds more reliable. Yet not as fun.

Yeah but I'm not the biggest kid person in the world. And I like my partys from time to time. And I would have to quit smoking.

Figure out number 2 then; you are saying that 1 ain't an option so make option 2 be the option. Find someone to go with you or someone who is in the same position and share money. Stay in a cheap please and don't eat expensive food. Learn to manage money, save and all.

Or find another option, Option 4. There's some exchange program with volunteering work where you can find a position. Or babysitting jobs. Or go to a Latin country and teach English!
