When people say that
Get your bum there rather. You are one in a million but as soon as you turn up, the odds go in you favour.
whilst obviously it seems that is always a way to get the jobs - how exactly do you choose 'where' to go and then how do you pay for it? It is all very well for people to say well go to Africa - but where and how and how long to stay etc.. How if you are already crippled by debt do you then afford a plane trip or trips to far flung places which will always cost you more than say a trip to magaluz (local spelling for brits abroad)?
People I am sure want to get their bum there but where exactly and how to choose - it is a lot to risk with little chance of return and going to somewhere like angola is a bit different than going to fairoaks!
