>>If you really want a change, you might want to consider working at a kibbutz in Isreal. I spent a summer working at Kibbuttz Gaaton in the upper Galilee picking bananas, chickens, digging irrigation trenches for kiwi fields, working in the metal factory. The room/board/food was free and you only had to work about 6 hours a day for 6 days a week. Work is normally done by noon. Also, since they give you room/board/food, they only pay about $50 a month.

>Israel? This is a joke, right? Do you, by any chance, read the newspaper?

Erik;

$50 a month? Maybe he could join a military group in Israel and make more money. Now, which side pays more? I am sure they also give free room and board.
