At the other end of the dossing scale is the girl in the apartment here. She's after coming back from work just now at 11pm (starts 8.30am). That's a 14.5 hour day and as I said to her - I often worked less in a week!!!.
Her average day is about 12 hours long and she doesn't get any overtime. So for these 60+ hours a week, what princely sum does she earn? About €800/month! I'd probably stick to the iterary I listed in the previous post for that sort of cash (for a 40 hour week, nevermind 60+!).
She was in the same position as me - came here on spec (from Indonesia), was looking for a sponsor for 6 weeks until she had to take what she she was offered. She took the job and they took advantage of her! Ye olde pay them peanuts and work 'em very hard methodology that I mentioned before. I'd be on the plane home before I'd go down that route!
