Mobile Phone use in the US is EXPENSIVE. Don't pay the rip off charges over there, get a MAXROAM sim before you go and get a US and Irish number in one. Call home for the price of a local call from your mobile!

Get a MAXroam SIM and Enjoy Global calls 
at local prices

    Hey, just got an offer for a job labouring for some construction company in waikiki, oahu, hawaii. Just wondering if anyone knows the general rate for labourers across the states. I think the guy is trying to rip us off at $10 an hour. In ireland u get bout 20 euro, which would be like $25..... anyone hav any ideas. We were thinking bout trying to negotiate the price before we take the job..... any thoughts would be great.
    Aloha.....

    10 bucks does seem a little bit ridiculous, for construction but remember that wages in the US are much less than here in general. worked in a restaurant in chicago last summer for 7.50 an hour plus tips. i doubt very much that your going to earn a figure comparable with what u would earn here per hour.
    good luck!
