Members do not see this ad.

I'm interviewing at most of my top schools pre-dec it seems, so I'll have Dec-Julyish to do whatever. I really don't want to live home and do some petty job. I really want to live abroad somewhere (hopefully Israel or Spain) and intern/work.

I'm not rich, which is why i say work/intern abroad rather than study, and the programs I've encountered so far cost ~$5000 for about 5 months in Israel, which is not bad. But, I wanted to see if you guys know anything or can suggest anything.

Thanks y'alllllll

There's a program where you live/work in Australia for a low sum of money. You'll get a hotel/restaurant business job. Maybe it was free? You could use temp agencies around the US and work at ski resorts or national parks or something.

Awesome. Any chance u could get the name for me?

It's called "Work Enjoy Australia". Don't hate me if I was wrong on the pricing. Google temp agencies if you're looking for that one.

How about getting firsthand medical/dental experience in poor communities in Central America? The trip was only a few weeks long but a life-changing and worth-every-dime investment for me.
