Hi,
Next year I shall finally cease to be a student and the last thing I
want to do is take a up a "proper job in the city". I've been thinking
of working abroad, possibly in Kenya or South Africa, and was wondering
if anyone had any advice: right now I know very little. I'm aware that
there are lots of volunteer organisations, but I'm thinking of staying
out there for at least 12 to 18 months so I'd rather be paid. I expect
that means I would restricted to the tourist trade (such as the safari
industry). I know that becoming a safari guide is not a job you just
walk into but something along those lines may be interesting. I also get
the feeling that coming in to that sort of thing as a foreigner may be
quite hard.
Anyone have any comments? Is volunteer work going to be the only
realistic possibility?
thanks,
Rob |
