🇺🇸 Is the USA Work and Travel Program worth it or free money?

Hello, 👋

From the heart of someone who's been to Work and Travel for two summers.

So today I want to share directly

👉, "Worth it?" or "Free money?"

First, let me share the estimated cost of our case.

(At that time, $1, 37-38 baht)

💸 Estimated expenditure (only the period before going)

🍄 Project Value (Includes Subscription + SEVIS Fee)

89,900 baht

🍄 $160 visa

6,080 baht

🍄 The cost of a plane ticket is $1,735.

65,930 baht

🍄 House

> > $100 deposit 3,800 baht

> > After that, deducted from paycheck $60 / week 2,280 baht / week.

🍄 Pocket money (first period reserve) $1,000

38,000 baht

💰 summarize the total cost. About 200,000 baht.

It is considered a relatively high cost, and may cause many to hesitate whether it is "worth it."

🤍 Personally, we look at that...Worth it.

It's not just about money, it's about "life experiences" coming back.

✨ have foreign work experience

→ Can actually put it in resume

Especially those who want to build on their service work, such as applying for Air 😆.

✨ has practiced responsibility.

→ Must manage both money and time, including life discipline.

Living on your own, real adult life.

✨. Got a new friend.

→ Both Thai friends and foreign friends

Have learned to work with people of many nationalities.

✨ has exchanged cultures.

→ Broader view of life. More understanding of the world.

Dare to talk. Dare to communicate more.

💭 Summary from the heart

Work and Travel may not be the program that works for everyone.

It has tiredness, hard work and relatively high costs.

But for those who want to try to get out of the comfort zone, do real work and open up to learning, for us it is a rewarding experience in the long run.

⚠️ Note

All of this is a summary from our personal experience. The actual cost may vary accordingly.

- The currency in that range.

- Agency.

- City / State to work

- Personal expenses

Additional Tax Refund can be applied for the next year. There is a chance to return, but wait a long time and definitely not, depending on the individual.

I hope this post will be useful to younger siblings and friends who are hesitating to go well. If you have a question, leave it under the comments or in the box. It will help you answer fully and not. 💙🇺🇸
