Well if Filipino can survive, how could I not? Besides which, many resort hotels provide staff accommodation, so that might be one less thing to worry about. It is not to earn money, if that was the purpose it would be a waste of time. It's just for experience and I would do it practically for pennies if I got meals and accommodation. Here hotel below senior management jobs are low paid, of course it's a lot more than the philippines, but the cost of living is so high you still end up with next to nothing after a few good nights out.Originally Posted by Tawi2
Paul O'Grady got a job as a waiter in Manila but that was a long time ago,I never met anyone white doing that sort of Job,have you considered Thailand?I met a few guys in Pattaya doing a variety of jobs,most westerners whorking in Pinas I met were either on ex-pat packages,had gone there and set up a company themselves,or were Bar managers.If you get a bog standard hotel job your going to take a massive drop in salary,can you survive for a year on a pinoy wage?Either way good luck in your endeavours
Forget minimum wage,that doesnt exist once your outside manila,or Glorias utopia,its Hobsons choice,do you want the job or not?Your right Valenti of course,Philippinos "Survive" as you put it,you want to know why?Because they dont have the luxury of choice,take it or leave it,you could also survive,sure you could,but the monotony of the diet would cause you to lose weight,and there would be no cash ;eft for nights out,you couldnt and wouldnt be able to afford it,I gave you the best advice I think?Enroll on a course,your going to have to pay but you are going to get a taste of the culture and the life
