    • The student managers invest a lot of their time in you and talk you through all of the problems and troubles that you will experience. They are amazing in their help, providing great advice and providing you with the oppertunity to follow them and learn all you can.

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • You work about 12-13 hours a day 6 days a week and then on the sundays have sunday meetings with your organisation. So you are occupied entirely, however because it is all about self motivation, you could essentially sit down and do no work if you desired. the choice is entirely yours to make.

    • This depends entirely on where the company sends you in the US.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • We worked most of the time so didn't go out at night often, you can be sent anywhere in america or canada so that depends entirely on where you are sent and what you consider a good nightlife.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • You work too much to get involved in your own stuff, but you are entirely in control of what you do so if you desire you can go and get involved in hundreds of activities- each sunday you go out and do activities in the area's you are with the group you are with.
