Hello!

A colleague of mine inquired about the terms of such a job, just out of curiosity (the prospect of a one-year paid holiday in Florida for himself and his wife sounded promising...). It turned out that the pay would just about have covered for paying the rent in Florida and maybe one or two visits to Mc Donalds per week. The travel expenses and his rent at home (with a one year only contract you need somewhere to get back to!) would have been on himself. They probably charged extra money for the visa, but I am not sure about that.
