Student paid work in the US?
Im  17yrs old and live in South Africa  I would like to travel 2 the US in Dec/Jan as I am on school holidays  for 6wks. However my parents wont pay for my airticket as I have  travelled overseas 4x this yr.  I was wondering are there any jobs available for 17yr olds where they  can get paid so I can work to pay off my ticket? I am very interested in  hospitality and was wondering whether there are an options available  there?

While  that's great that you want to work here, you would run into many many  complications, including a visa.  Also, if you cannot fund your ticket, I would suggest not trying to come  here to work.  Few cities carry youth hostels, and the ones who do are  HUGE. You will need to have money to eat and survive, as well as a  location as to where you are to be staying.  It's a great idea, but I would put it off a year or so.

There  is a certain kind of visa that allows foreign people to work at  resorts. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is called or how you find  out about them. Do a web search. I did and came up with this webpage: http://www.workpermit.com/news/2006_04_20/us/resorts_need_short_term_workers.htm  Good  luck!
