For adventure lovers, or for those who simply want to see what life abroad is like, the Work and Travel student program is the perfect opportunity to save money, travel, improve their English and shop for whatever they fancy, because America is "the land of unlimited opportunities."
Many people probably ask themselves how much it will cost to go and how much they will earn. Students who embark on this adventure in the USA always come back happy with the summer they've spent. Many of them earn between $7,000 and $15,000, depending on the state and the pay there.
The amount you'll save also depends a lot on the type of job – if you're in a position with tips, you'll definitely save much more. Everyone decides for themselves what to use their savings for – education, travel and other entertainment, or buying a new car. Whichever you choose, it's worth it, because in Bulgaria it's almost impossible to earn in 4 months the money you'll have the opportunity to earn in the USA.
It's true that going to America requires quite a sum of money, but it's worth it, because besides getting back what you've invested, you can save a lot of money on top of that. Apart from the money, which is the biggest draw, the emotions and experiences you'll have in America are priceless!
A summer work program in America isn't for everyone. Not everyone can cope with the work assigned to them, the fast-paced daily life and the completely different way of life. For those who are able to embark on this adventure, it turns out to be an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting memory in their hearts. The program teaches us how to be independent and responsible, and how to cope with different situations far away from anyone close who could help us in a difficult moment.
Take the opportunity while you're a student to challenge yourself by signing up for the Work and Travel program. Become part of this magic and unforgettable experience!
We – the consultants at NGBConsulting – have already been, and we'd give anything to experience it at least once more!
