 | Possible Summer Overseas work, any advice?Hey, ive just been thinking about what i want to do after i finish school next summer, ive been thinking about gap years etc. but dont really want to wait another year before going to uni. So, i think i want to go do some work experience overseas somewhere, id really like to do something in the States but im not sure how i would go about finding placements or whatever or even if i am old enough for it at 17(the age ill be when i go). So has anyone here got any advice? useful websites? experience? id really be greatful for any input you guys can give me. Cheers Wolf |

 | Re: Possible Summer Overseas work, any advice?Home - Summer Work Adventures, since 1969 - Camp America would be the obvious answer based on what you said. Though i can thoroughly recommend Australia also, but you'd have to research that yourself as i don't know of any "Camp Australia" things. Maybe the NUS website might have some more information? |

| Re: Possible Summer Overseas work, any advice?Mate forget the vocational stuff this summer, do a degree that has a gap year built in and get your year in industry like that, as for the summer before uni starts, get yourself out to Ibiza and rep/work in a bar. It'll open your eyes in a completely different way |
