Any particular reason you can't just stay in the UK and work in a bar?

>>3165

My only option in the UK would be limited to staying at home in my dead northern town. Would much rather something a bit more exciting.

>>3166

If you're able to go work in Amsterdam, what's stopping you from going to work in one of the not-dead towns over here?

>>3167

Hmm.
I'd suppose it's the Hostel Culture, and the 'difference' factor that'd work for me.

There's not much in the way of hostels over here, not like Amsterdam. The fact that I'm English could work for me in Amsterdam too, whereas I'm just another person over here.

>>3168 Being what you call " English" is not a qualification. You will have to compete with thousand of other people of different colors and some can speak more than one language. Competition is part of capitalismus.

>>3168
There are hostels in London, not to mention a dearth of English people.

>>3169

Wait, are you questioning his Englishness, or the validity of being "English" as a concept altogether?

>>3171 he just seems to believe that being "English" is a bonus for an employer abroad. It's not. I would rather hire a luxembourgois who can speak 3 languages with my customers/tourists.

>>3172

But what about if he was "French"? or "German"? Do either of these "nationalities" have more appeal?

>>3173 Business doesn't care. If you are a spotty man who will make more profit than others you are welcome to get a job. Market is the most anti racist, anti patriot. Profit above politics. Always.

I'm in a similar situation, except I have most of July and August between graduating and starting work where I will be doing fuck-all. Might as well go somewhere interesting (read: not the UK) with my time if I can. What I do and for how long depends very much on what my bank balance looks like by the time I graduate, but sustaining myself on a casual bar gig could be an attractive option. Anyone have any experience of this, in Europe or otherwise?
