The major differences between the US and Ireland is the ease of getting a job. if you want to work , you just get a job. I actually never meet anyone that is unemployed.

So the question is. In my off season, say November through June, should I get a part time job. Say 4 eight hour shifts or 3 ten hour shifts. A few years ago I did about 4 weeks for UPS and made decent money as I was doing at least 10 hours a day and it was 7 days a week at about $30 an hour.

i do not like doing nothing . I find that when I go abroad, I end up going through 10k . I myself dont spend much but those with me, just like going to fancy places. Always the best restaurants within reason. They are all germaphobes so good hotels as well.

if on my own, it would be the cheapest kip in town for me.

so I might get a part time job. Ideally with some spanish speakers to kills two cuckoos with one boulder

Don't get a job in a hotel anyway , you"d be there to do 20 hours a week ,but in the first week you'd end up doing 50......30 an hour at UPS is decent pay

One of my focuses this winter will be polishing up on speaking Spanish which I can now read. So it is working with them or a month in Cuba or a month teaching englisgh as a second language somewhere. That is certainly another option.

If you put that on your CV, you may have difficulty securing a position. 🙂

Civil engineer needed to keep the borders safe.

Trump's Mexican wall it sounds like, but with "technology and capabilities".


Word is they've developed innovative technology that detects an immigrant approaching and activates a hologram of a leprechaun in a clip on tie droning on about American "history" to deter them.

You would appear to have all the qualifications.

Correct, they are both V8s and the head gasket is a weak point in that diesel engine.

He's a near'do'well , a social deviant ......it's just incredible that he talks about other people never having a job lol, I was and still am a for hire stonemasonry specialist for 24 years (small law practise on the side) ......he told me once he lashed down new cars to the floors of ferrys in Holland in the 90's that's the last time he worked IF that story was true :unsure:

If you want to make money, then you have to have your own business really. But a significant number of people works just to be active, and indeed a great number volunteer.

I've seen on YouTube fellas in America claiming to make extra money by setting up vending machine and ATMs (private ATMs owned by individuals isn't a thing in Ireland/EU AFAIK) Do you have any knowledge of that sort of thing, have you seen it happening in your neighborhood ?
