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.
Thanks for this video! I switched to PT for this semester and I'm a full time freelancer but I've always wanted to go on work and travel :( plus I saved up a lot for the program. Idk how I'd go on the trip at this rate. Which program did you go with?
Hey bro, I went with SWAT. And don't worry, you get to go on the program max 3 times - so although you can't do it this year, there's always next year :)
@@ShamarCrossfield gonna do it next yr. Heard tht First Class Work and Travel is rlly good and they're more affordable so I'm looking into tht. I'm so nervous. At 22 I've never spent any time away from home or traveled. Wish me luck!!
I started my second job like probably a week and a half after I got there. And I got my SSN after like a month. I started my second job without my SSN because it was one of the few that would hire me without the SSN.
Well I didn’t have any relatives close by to where I stayed but yeah you could always request some time off to go visit friends or family (like for 1 or 2 days)
It's interesting fr ... I guess it's cause we get to pick, choose and refuse even after starting to work there - if we don't like the second job we can just leave and find a new one 😂 but we really don't have that luxury when it comes to the first job
Just had to look in the area that my primary job was located in for other jobs that were hiring and I applied to them. I went with Krispy Kreme, showed them some documents and started working there. Honestly, you should run it by your sponsor and let them approve your second job before you start working there tho
@@tibbysclassic5951 first you'll have to find a reputable work and travel agency that is affordable and that you think is good. next, register with that agency. then, begin paying off your program fee. while you're paying off the program fee, the agency will give you access to a job list with all the jobs that their partnering sponsors are offering this year, and also allow you to upload all the necessary documents that they require. by the time you finish paying off the program fee, you'll receive ur work permit, then will possibly have to do a job interview, then do the embassy interview to get ur j1 visa and after all that ... you're ready to fly out in May
Well it’s gonna be really hard to and chances are that the jobs you might have while up there won’t pay that much for you to save up 10k. But I don’t think it’s impossible-just very hard
I’d recommend SWAT tbh but that’s because they’re the only one I have experience with and my experience with them was a good one. It’s good to ask around tho because SWAT is not the most affordable nor is it the end all be all
Lord, God of Heaven and Earth, You are the God of peace. Be my refuge from my troubles. Be my shelter in the storm. Be my rock surrounded by sinking sand. Your name is great. You are mighty. You do not cause turmoil within me though, You bring peace. Can I have peace that comes from You? I want to find refuge and rest in You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Yeah First Class is a good one! All the best bro, it's gonna be a great experience
@Shamar Crossfield there's actually no "max". My friend went 5 times and last year was her last
Thank you for that video!!!
No problem 💯
You can still do work and travel related videos… like the process and stuff…. Btw what agency did you go with ?
That’s an option, yeah. And I went with SWAT
Where I am now me tell dem Seh is just 3 animal deh Jamaica 😂😂 so if me see a weird animal I am going to run🤣🤣💀
Bruh 💀🤣🤣
how long did you wait to go about doing your social security number when you arrived?
I think it was 2 or 3 weeks after
next year definitely
Awesome!
U are so underrated!!
🥹 a just time man
mi late lolll, thought i was early
😂😂 as long as you reach youre good
@@ShamarCrossfield where else are you interested in, if not myrtle beach
@@shenelleblake2207 hmmm I’m really not sure tbh, I’m just gonna go with what I see available
When did you start your second job and how long did it take you to get your SSN?
I started my second job like probably a week and a half after I got there. And I got my SSN after like a month. I started my second job without my SSN because it was one of the few that would hire me without the SSN.
How long did you wait before you got your embassy date?
Probably like a week after payment of the embassy fee
how long after you started working your first job you started the second one?
Like probably a week and a half after
Did you get a chance to visit family and friends?
Well I didn’t have any relatives close by to where I stayed but yeah you could always request some time off to go visit friends or family (like for 1 or 2 days)
How much were you paid at both jobs?
$15/hr at Walmart
$13/hr at Krispy Kreme
I'm wondering why 2nd jobs are often times better. 1st job environment is usually toxic!!!
It's interesting fr ... I guess it's cause we get to pick, choose and refuse even after starting to work there - if we don't like the second job we can just leave and find a new one 😂 but we really don't have that luxury when it comes to the first job
Yayy👏👏👏👏
Yessirrrr 🥳
Dem watch yuh bad at Walmart gosh ….lolz I knew how to out do dem tho
which agency did you use
SWAT Ltd
okay thanks you know if they help with internships or if you have to find it yourself
@@ShamarCrossfield
You were forced to exercise everyday lol 😂
Ikr 💀 never been this physically fit but yet so tired in my life
Frl
@@ShamarCrossfield 😂👏🏽
Glad that you enjoyed and made good use of the experience. Seemed like you milked it out.
I did, it overall was a good experience nonetheless
how did you go about working two jobs?
Just had to look in the area that my primary job was located in for other jobs that were hiring and I applied to them. I went with Krispy Kreme, showed them some documents and started working there. Honestly, you should run it by your sponsor and let them approve your second job before you start working there tho
@@ShamarCrossfield how do I go about the work an travel I’m just watching the video

@@ShamarCrossfield did you do an interview for Krispy Kreme?
Yeah I did. Their interview process is really them just tell us what the job entails tho 😂
💯🔥💯👍🏾
I do law, do u think I can make back my law fee?
Well it’s gonna be really hard to and chances are that the jobs you might have while up there won’t pay that much for you to save up 10k. But I don’t think it’s impossible-just very hard
You could make back at least 5k USD in savings tho, that’s more of a guarantee I’d say
Nice
When you coming on campus fam?
Mannn imma be commuting 🥴 but Aleesha’s on campus already tho
@@ShamarCrossfield say less
@@kevonsimpson8087 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Which agency would you recommend? I’m a first year and literally know no one 😮💨
I’d recommend SWAT tbh but that’s because they’re the only one I have experience with and my experience with them was a good one. It’s good to ask around tho because SWAT is not the most affordable nor is it the end all be all

Walmart is ridiculous 😢
I’m saying Odean 😪
That sounded rough
It was
So you didn’t have anyone to travel on the road with? That sounds scary to me as a woman
Yeah it can be scary tbh
Not first:(
Still just happy you’re here :)
Sorry but I don't believe you that you slept for only approximately 2 hours
I wish I was making it up lmao
It really was 2-3 hours and coffee almost everyday
Thank God I didn’t go Walmart
loool
Do you need to be vaccinated ?
yeah you do. the USA has a regulation where you need to be vaccinated to enter their country
@@ShamarCrossfield ok thank u
🤣🤣🤣
WOW Walmart sounds like slavery.
Mannn
