it is quite possible to find a second job there in kings dominion. From waiters to 7-11 cashiers, quit some options there. But bear in mind that kings dominion is in the middle of nowhere. It is just a highway stop kinda town, small, sustainable, but bare minimum.

I didnt pay for my flight from east coast to west coast. It was a complimentry flight given by United Airlines, provided that you purchase their trans-alantic flight to and from usa. I get paid at $7.25 (minimum wage) without any overtime or bonuses doing something like McDonald boy. Then i found a second job which is $8.40 doing warehouse job. I work 6 days a week, 10~12 hours per day average. But i do slack some time to time. I have to admit i am REALLY stingy throughout my trip. I even shaved my head to save on haircut xD.
Accomodation is $45 per week, 4 in a room. Utilities fully paid, hostel style.

Register with speedwing. They will send you a list of employers and it is up to you to choose. I've only worked in 1 place in USA, so my advise might not be accurate to you.

Erm, about the united airlines, did you buy it through speedwing or you find it yourselves ? also which way is cheaper ? buy myself or buy thru speedwing ?

So I will get a complimentary flight when i purchase two ways flight from united airlines ? ... when do i determine the date of the complimentary flight ? .. can i choose the date for the complimentary flight once at usa ?


omg $7.25 is kinda low ... even your second job higher than your primary job .. +_+ mm im not gonna go to king dominion i suppose.. lol..

Sure im waiting for the employers list which will be out at 16 Nov 2008 ^^

We have to pay the deposit first but it's not 100% that we will get? So how about next year? Anyone going? rclxms.gif

I emailed speedwing and they said we were allowed to choose our employers somewhere in early february.

hey you should pay rm 100 deposit 1st so you can have priority to choose... alot of ppl paid ... including me .. ^^

You only pay rm 2800 once you have confirmed a job . For the time being, just pay rm 100 to attend the road show in feburary.

speedwing took care of my flight for me. The interstate flight in america will need to be confirm upon ticket purchase. So u actually gotta start planning your after work travel in usa before you buy the ticket there. However it is still possible to change your flight while you're in USA, but i think some charges are applicable.

However if you are good in kings dominion, you actually get promotion quite easily. Last year, malaysian alone, we have 2 promoted to supervisor. I wasnt promoted because i took up a second job, but i have to say malaysians stand out among most international students.

BBB should not be a problem man, A-levels is quite simple. what subs are u sitting for btw?? if it is maths, chem and physics AAA should be quite easy to get.

summer break is 3 and a half months I think

seriously i've been at uni since april this year..
and i only had SA food twice. and Admin bldg food once.
Both sucks (cleanliness, quality and price).. and i've been anti uni food since then.
(nickname for SA food: if you want to get diarrhoea, by all means go.) (nickname for Admin bldg food: pay MORE to get diarrhoea)
Oh yea and the mini mart at SA too, their pricing is INCREDIBLY SKY-HIGH.

Well .. I've heard quite a number of good comments about the food at SA now.. smile.gif I shall try it someday, after gathering enough courage tongue.gif
