Asian Slave for next summer
I have just got hired by Seaworld for 3 months. Will be working in Orlando, Florida, in the promised land, land of free speech, land of crazy girls flashing their boobs at rock gigs, land of intense racism, land where perception of all asians is that they are frm china and have one syllabus names like Yang, Lee.
Yup I am off to the USA for the work and travel program. But somehow things arent looking as good as it seems at the moment, I chose Seaworld compared to the other states becoz of my frends comments as they have been there before. But after calculating, Seaworld having the most expensive accomadations charges, I would really have to save and watch my savings, jus like a philippino maid here, maybe all the singapores will have picnis in Seaworld and dirty their land.
Here are the statistics, hourly pay is 7 bucks an hour, anything above 40 hours a week is overtime, 10.5 an hour. So after careful calculating, if i work 60 hours a day, i would have onli 3 k to spend and travel. And should i finish spending this 3 k, i would deficit my entire package course money and the air ticket, which amounds to about 2.8 k. How naive of me to think i can work to break even...
Anyway i think i will jus go ahead with it. To see how promising it can be..

America is not like how you think it is. And it will be almost impossible to get any overtime, especially if you are thinking of 60hrs a week. They would try their best to give you under 40 hours, cuz overtime costs a hell lot to the company. If you're thinking of recouping your 2.8k, and travelling, i'd really advise you to think again. You can get a 2nd job most likely, but trust me, you'd be working like a dog and feeling miserable half the time. go if you've got cash to burn, and have an awesome time.
