STUDIES AND EMPLOYMENT IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY
The globalization and the big student migrations on a global scale have generated a phenomenon of labor expantion of bilateral profit. The nation that receives the student can benefit from " a new working hand " to cover some vacancies, with the insurance of not having ot layoff any local workers.
For the student who arrives to new country, it´s useful not only for having an additional income that helps him/her compensate part of the expenses, but for the acquired experience of working in a foreign country.
In many European countries it is allowed to work part time while going to school. Such is the case of England, Ireland, France, Italy, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, just to name a few.
Nevertheless, it is important to clarify that every country handles its own political standards, limitations and restrictions that must be known.
In no case must the work be considered more important than the objective of the student that is to study. The student is in obligation to rely on the sufficient resources " before the trip " to cover the totality of his/her expenses including not only the studies, but everything related to the accommodation, class materials, transportation and the ticket to return to his/her country.
