Guest Speaker

           In English we had a guess speaker Mark Harris from Australia. He's works with the Global Education Skills Alliance. He was informing us about the internship his company provides in New Zealand and Australia. It good information and a lot of things I didn't know. We as students can benefit from it. The laws over there are much different from over here, in the States the drinking age is twenty one and over there the age is eighteen.  The weather doesn't get that cold and if does get that cold, all he needs is a light jacket but it's really hot. We can stay up to six weeks the longest I think and receive up to $18 or so, that's the minimum wage. He also stated that it's very expensive there, like cars a Subaru can cost as much as an BMW in Australia, but him living here in the U.S  he can afford it. If you're in the middle class, you get those taxes back , but when you're in the upper class, you pay more. Thinking about their economic, I feel america should be like that, even though i'm off topic. Any way I think it's a good opportunity for students to broaden their horizon and travel  and learn about another country.
