Every work and travel participant thought that it would be better if I would prefer to work in an overtime job or find a second job during the job placement process. First of all, let’s briefly talk about what overtime is, and let’s try to answer this question in detail.
Overtime in the United States varies depending on the employer, but when you work 40 hours or more, you can earn one and a half times your hourly wage. For example, if a work and travel participant who earns 15 USD per hour takes overtime, his hourly wage increases to 22.5 USD after 40 hours of work.
If the region you will work in is suitable for finding a second job, it is also very advantageous to find another job to work in your free times, to socialize in a different environment, to gain a different work experience and to work in a different position than your first job.
Both have advantages over each other. If there are few options that you can choose as a second job around the place where you will work, of course, it is very beneficial for you to take overtime and choose an overtime job.
