Traveling with a Part-time Job
In these recent couple of years, it seems that the world’s young generation has begun to form a new way of traveling in the United States. It is currently the latest trend for people around the world to explore the American culture at the lowest expense ever in history, especially for students. What’s this new big splash that calls all travel lovers’ full attention? The answer is the project that the U.S. government came up with a couple of years ago, which aims to give foreign students an opportunity to experience the typical American life with exuberant styles. This is how it works: if you want to apply for this program, you need to be a student at the age from 18 to 28 years old, and you need to be able to stay there at least for 2 months. The U.S. government will offer you a pat-time job at places such as Disney Land, Universal Studios, or some national parks. And, of course, you need to command some language skills, at least to communicate in some basic terms in English. In my opinion, this is indeed a lifetime opportunity for all of us, who live in a world which English is the most dominating language; therefore, we should seize this opportunity to practice our English through our pat-time jobs as well as everyday life experience there. What’s more, we can go see some major sites and earn our own money for the trip at the same time. Sometimes it is said that you can even make more money than the total fees you pay for this project, which are about $8,0000 including the airplane tickets. So what are you waiting for? Just go apply now!
