I've worked in New Zealand, Australia, and South Korea. Going to be moving to Japan (hopefully) next month
New Zealand- Apple/cherry picking, working in a cold store, bird scaring (awesome job, basically ragging around a cherry orchard on a quad bike whilst beeping the horn!!).
Australia- Making sofas, office removal work (possibly the worst job i have ever had), planting vines on a vinyard (great crack, plus earnt a *beep*load of money doing it), selling water coolers (lasted one day), waiter in a restaurant on Darling harbour.
South Korea- teacher, international playboy.
How about you guys? I know you are a well travelled bunch. |

In South America, I worked as a translator for the Christian Children's Fund.
I translated the letters which the sponsors in the United States wrote to their beneficiaries in South America, and I translated the letters which the children wrote back.
I used the Spanish language on the job, all the other office workers spoke to me in Spanish, so I learned Spanish.
I miss that. |

You know I always wondered about that. I saw the commercials and they always send you keep correspondance. Now I know some countries they might learn English, but I always wondered how that happened 
Anyways, for the topic, English teacher in China, Japan and Korea. Computer programmer, Database engineer and tech support (while in uni) back in Canada. |

Just the U.S. and Korea. Studied in Australia. Initially, I was supposed to change countries over here each year, but that whole meeting of the Chica with her steady job and family thing kind of put a halt to that little skipper of a plan.
Korea-
Teacher (academy and middle school)
Editor
US-
Grocery store expert (did everything that didn't involve knives)
Retail (tourist store)
Painter's apprentice
Pizza delivery dude
Scanning operator (the most awesomest job for a deadbeat ever) |
