They are jobs still out there, just depends on what exactly you want to do and your willing to do.

Personally if it was me, i would go do a winter season aboard.

[Peejous]

Go to Andorra ill be there in January (with the wife) are you fit? Want to hook up? Pics?
A/S/L?

I wish in a way I did repping. I left school at 18 then went to Malia for the summer and went stright into a job. Looking back I wish I had more balls. If my life ever goes tits up I shall do this route for sure!

I'm in too much debt now to afford to go for a job like this now! plus I don't think the GF would be to happy! I would take the job in Andorra if i were you. Would be good, I've been there 3/4 times and loved it every time. What have you got to loose if you went and then didn't like it. Its only a few months of your life. Plus you earn a few quid.

Can I ask how much will you earn for a season?

Exactly the same as me.

I wanted to be a rep/work aboard when i was at school. Having a girlfriend and getting too used to having money once i left meant it never happened.

Now I'm in a job i hate more then anything in my life. Im forever spending money and listening to people moan about money all the time.

i would love the change in lifestyle but im too comfortable and scared of change now.

go get some temp work and then fuck off back out to the fun

[Barry123]

fuck me I could do repping...

*thinks*

*head explodes*

[a17vts]

Don't get me wrong but I love my life now, although it is hard at present. I wish I did things slower in my life. I now have a well paid job, a large mortgage and a long term GF. I also had the chance to do repping I had a job lined up and every thing.

I still have a number of friends who are working as reps, two are now "managers" in two different places in France, they seem to earn ok for what they do.

If I had my time again I would do at least a few years of repping and then go into "proper" work once I was about 25!!!

[Ryan]

id purely do the repping thing to get paid to get mashed, and plow as many uk holiday hoebags as possible.

[Amiee]

Lol would deffo stay away from here!!

Sooo wish I didnt live here right now.. its utterly wankered!

I live in Essex to get mashed and plow as many of the UK's howbags as possible.
Save a fortune on flights. x

Its only a few months of your life. Plus you earn a few quid.

Tom

i worked malia this summer it was amazing....you dont actually earn that much though comms are pretty shit

and i get paid monthly and i get £420 per month

fuck me I could do repping...

*thinks*

*head explodes*

trying to insinuate we are all thick?

[djrem]

£420 a month?!!!!

Thats £5k a year.
Unemployed people earn more cash than you.

the costa del chav or costa del sol :homme:

[Barry123]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr no amy! but that made me laugh looking back now if I had been insulting :D

no I just mean I've spent the last year sort of wondering what the frig to do, major headache thinking about what to do, what the future holds, what the foooook is happening with the economy etc etc (hence head explosion comment)... Real, proper job iz gay, so I opted go down the education route... wish I chose to party instead.

dang.

[Barry123]

I got half that on the dole *thanks tax payers for their hard work :)*

[djrem]

Doesnt matter what economy you're in.
£5k a year salary isnt worth anything in any economic climate.

How can you decide to fly home when its a major chunk of your annual earnings. Serious.

EDIT: Sayer, should have said you were a single dad.

[amyescapades]

£420 a month?!!!!

haha thats so true! we get commision off the events we sell but thats not alot! id say it wud push us upto about 600 a month...and with the state of the euro at the moment we definately are not getting much for our money....definately not that cheap to live aroad!

depends what is sunsdised for you, eg if accomodation is free then brings the pay in line with alot of better earners

[a17vts]

i worked malia this summer it was amazing....you dont actually earn that much though comms are pretty shit

and i get paid monthly and i get £420 per month

But you don't have any living costs do you?

I working down at start beach in just outside Malia. I was there for about 5 months and had the time of my life. I was only earning such a small amount but had the time of my life.

Go for it.

I'm jealous!

:P

dang.

alright then apologies to you x

[a17vts]

PLus if you decide you have had enough they pay for you to fly back. I had a friend who went out there with 18-30 got the sack after about 3 weeks and then got another job working in a bar and at the end of the season about 4 months later 18-30 paid for his flight home!!!

[djrem]

I thought minimum wage was around £12,000 a year if you worked fulltime.

Just do a course and become an instructor in something and work teaching sailing or something.

Monies!

If you came to the UK, you'd spend £150-£200 shopping and clubbing in a week no problem.

[amyescapades]

But you don't have any living costs do you?

:P

yeah i have to pay to live i dont pay my accomodation but i pay for my gas and electric meter! im lucky if i get hot water as well!! i also pay for all my food as my duty times in my hotels dont allow me to eat as im never there at restaurant opening times and my other hotel is self catering! eating out is rather expensive for a decent meal (ie steak pie chips and veg) plus a drink brings me to about 10 euros, which with the rate of 1.08 which the conversion is at the moment im paying 9.25 pounds for a meal, plus you got things like phone credit as well to think about!

he shouldnt of got that flight at the end of the season because you only get your flight if you complete your season and resign...and ive ended up having to pay for my own flight home from tenerife as they were fling me to gatwick and i need to go to manchester and the gatwick flight lands at 19.45 and last train to manc is at 20.01 and the last coach is at 1900 so had to pay my own flight to macnhester!

[frankie]

That what I thought, I may have miss understood but he didn't pay to get home!!

Flights can be cheap if you need them to be.

I waited at Malia airport for 2 days to get a cheap flight, this is going back over 5 years ago and I think I paid something like £40 which was just an admin fee. Cheap cheap cheap!
