They said it will serve as a pathway for me to have a great future in UK, meaning to acquire a good job there and eventually be granted with a working visa or even permanent status. Another agency is offering me a job as Mushroom Picker for me to acquire a working visa. They said at least I have a working visa and can find a job that suits me better. Please help me on this. I dont know which is better.
This is sad. Please do not believe that you can get a work permit for picking mushrooms in the UK. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with picking mushrooms :-) but after studying for how many years and eventually getting your degree - you'd begin picking mushrooms just to get in to the UK??? You don't want to do that, do you?
