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!!!

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.

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!

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!
