This is an absolute, definite and 100% guaranteed question, which all your friends want to ask before considering participating. What is the answer?
It is possible to earn money back!
However, the senior must first say that there are some conditions that you must meet. The senior should share the characteristics of his friends who can't make ends meet. Characteristics of seniors and sisters participating in project balance;
Before taking a paid internship in the United States, set clear goals.
Is it often the second or third time to participate in paid internships in the United States?
Strong information search ability, can use Google.
independent personality
Dare to fight for what you want (such as the opportunity of rotation)
I dare to speak spoken English, no matter how bad it is, just say it. If you don't know how to say it three times, the other person will understand. You got it?
I earned it myself and paid the registration fee myself.
Get up early (basically arrive in the United States in June) and return home very late.
I ate very hard (spicy Lamian Noodles for three months)
Earn hard (basically overtime is done by us lunatics)
Don't waste money (I said don't burn American knives at outlets, but I can't help it if you insist on going)
The question of cost was raised above, and the seniors also wrote down their own expenses:
IEE registration fee: ¥ 17000
Visa fee plus transportation, catering and accommodation: ¥ 2,000.
Air ticket: 4500-6000 yuan, because the location is confirmed in February and March, and it will arrive before June 23. Basically, we all got tickets under 6000, and I bought tickets for 4500 myself, so I can't change them.
Carry-on: ¥ 2,000, about $300: Senior students intend to be responsible for all expenses independently, so they have little money with them.
The initial investment is about 25,500 yuan.
Next, let's discuss the internship position:
At present, the internship salary in most states in the United States is higher than that in 8 yuan, and there is no tip (followed by hourly salary), and the federal minimum wage of 7.25 is rarely paid. If you spend 40 hours a week in a month, you will need to spend $65,438+0,280 a month (excluding tax refund).
Consumption: the average rent is 300-500 dollars a month, and we share it with more than two people, 150-250 dollars a month.
Diet: $3 for breakfast, $8 for lunch and dinner, and $3+8+8 = 65,438 +0 * 30 = 570 per month.
Traffic? 100 USD/month
Total fixed expenditure is 920 USD/month.
Monthly surplus = $ 1280-$920 = $360, three months is $360*3=$ 1080, and the exchange rate is 6.67 = 7203.6-> This is the sum of the first internship, so you must find a second job.
Second job: the same is $8, one week 15-20 hours = 120- 160, three months = $360-480, and the exchange rate is 6.67 = ¥ 2401.2-¥ 32000. This is the trial calculation of the second internship.
Tip? :? The tip of my main internship can sometimes be 100 yuan a day, or as little as 20-30 yuan a day, with an average of 30-50 yuan/day. The most conservative estimate is 600 yuan/month, the exchange rate is 6.67, and three months 1800 = 12006 USD.
Total salary? :? 7203.6 (main internship) +240 1.2-320 1.6 (secondary internship) = 9604.8- 10405.2.
Tip? :? ¥9604.8 - 10405.2+¥ 12006=? ¥2 16 10.8 - ¥224 1 1.2? The most conservative estimate is that I earn more than that.
Excluding the pre-trip expenses of 25,500 yuan (excluding the 2,000 yuan you carry with you), theoretically the overall expenditure is about18,300 yuan. (Not to mention outlets), I have been in the United States for more than 90 days with less than 20,000 yuan, and my seniors think it is particularly worthwhile. We can travel wherever we want, and if we stay for less than a month, we will have to spend more than 30 thousand yuan ... It's really a good deal ... If we follow the above formula, we all make some money, just a little, but this is really beyond the reach of ordinary princesses. .....
Remind your brother and sister that you need to consider the following:
Can your body and mind withstand such work intensity?
Senior students have seen too many examples of high physical and psychological endurance, and they collapsed after arriving in the United States. As a result, they said it was the fault of institutions, internship enterprises and leaders, and it was always their own fault. Let's get this straight here: you basically land on all fours in China, and your brothers and sisters who don't have any internship experience really don't recommend doing such hard work. People earn money with sweat, and they have to work hard to earn money and experience. Senior students have never seen such things as beautiful knife examination and internship certificate.
The 40-hour internship period per week is reduced:
The working hours provided by most employers participating in this project will fluctuate, mostly between 30 and 35 hours, especially in the off-season in late August and September.
Find an internship with food and shelter and be forced to be frugal;
Many internships are full board and lodging. If you want to save money, remember to look for Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. It is easy to save money and prevent you from spending money indiscriminately. I heard that the natural scenery is also quite good.
Tip:
This kind of internship requires a lot of oral English, but it is definitely not a hotel cleaning, housekeeper? Tips are very small because they are distributed to the whole team.
It took two workers to bring this beautiful knife. Ah ah:
I knocked on the door to find a second job myself, and my friends around me found a bag to eat and live in. In the end, we made a lot of money with this little friend, but it is not recommended that every classmate and sister follow our module. Very tired, many people can't stand it. In addition, don't limit the job you are looking for. Someone does find a second internship in a special enterprise. For example, a friend of a senior looks for a local chocolate shop, drugstore (not a professional pharmacist, don't get me wrong) and someone like Torres (I didn't ask, it should be home? Depot), the salary is good, but these friends try their best to find it.
Remember, if we want to balance our income and expenditure to represent the time and thought spent during the internship period, at least before the tourism period, we just concentrate on the internship position. This kind of play is not suitable for all the students and brothers and sisters involved. Before you go to America, you must think about it, and don't think about "I can exercise or even pay for it." If you think so, you'd better stay in China. There is no free food in the world. Getting a lot of different internship experience and salary will definitely require you to exchange sweat and tears, but the seniors personally think it is worthwhile. Learning from brothers and sisters and practicing with pay in America means thinking and judging independently. Now let's practice independent judgment!
