Answer 2

I know for a fact that working on a Cruise Ship is the best choice in a long term proyect. A friend of mine works there and after 6 years he went to different cruise routes:

Panama-Ecuador-Peru-Chile-Argentina-Br...

San Diego-San Francisco-Vancouver-Anchorage-Hawaii

Mostly around the caribean and even to Northen Europe

There are around 800 crew members from all around the world working there and they're all young and single!  My friend started as a kitchen helper and now he is the cheff of crew Kitchen! It all depends on You.

Answer 5

YOU ARE LUCKY... because I'm in a good mood since I usually give these wet dream questions the answer they deserve.

You seem genuinely interested in doing this.

When I was 17, I went to Europe with nothing more than a few dollars in my pocket and my Guitar.  I lived in Europe for 3 years, supporting myself by playing guitar on street corners during the day and playing piano in bars at night for the tips and I could have continued doing it for as long as I wished, had I  not been pressured to come home and go to college by my parents.

If you can play a musical instrument... or better yet.. a couple of instruments... or if you can SING... and I mean REALLY SING... you can make a living as a street musician in Europe and other places in the world too.

A good musical ability can take you all over the world because everyone loves a strolling minstrel.  AND.. the more languages you can speak the better... at that time I was fluent in 4 languages.

I also met a lot of people and was able to pick up work with the tourist bus industry and got a lot of part time jobs escorting tourists around.  I also had some semi-permanent jobs in cabaret bands and those paid pretty well.

Another thing you can look at is, getting a job with cruise ships.  The contracts are typically for 6 months and, at the end of the contract the will fly you to whatever destination you care to go to.  You can work your way around the world, 6 months at a time and those jobs provide all uniforms, food, lodging and even pay real money, plus you get tips.

Answer 6

I got a job as a contractor; I now work in Iraq, a good jumping off spot and the pay aint to shabby either..

Answer 7

Answer 12

As you search around the Internet, you see links to websites and such, almost screaming at you "MAKE MONEY ONLINE!" and what do you do? Well, you already know, from clicking on those links before, that all they want is money. Now that doesn't make any sense at all now does it? How are you supposed to make money, if you have to pay for it? Seems like a lost cause to me. Personally, I hate programs such as that, and I would never suggest something like that to you. But hey, if you're looking to make some money online, 100% free, then this is what you've been looking for.
