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.

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!
