My J1 Work and Travel Experience 2022! | Jamaica
In this video, i detail exactly what my work and travel experience was like for my first time ever being on the programme ... let's just say it was ... interesting to say the least :)
Aleesha’s WonderWorks video: • Video
P.S. I didn’t make it clear but at both of my jobs, I got dedicated breaks (i.e. at Walmart & Krispy Kreme); only job i didn’ get a break on and which Aleesha and I subsequently left, is Papa John’s. If there was any confusion i hope it’s clearer now :)

    Thank god that my son is now in the USA Airforce! I’ve been through the same b.s back in the seventies after graduation from high school in New York and saw my two too kids wanted to be independent after graduation 👩‍🎓 from from high school went through the same things. Those people (employers) take advantage of young people. My daughter worked for some of the biggest clothing department stores also my son here in Florida but never with Walmart. As a medical student! Try to see if you can get into a program by working at a hospital whenever you can when you’re here in the USA.
