Hi, I'm 17 and want to go and spend a month or so in Spain this summer. How would I go about getting work in Spain to sustain myself?

That depends. Do you have any qualifications or work experience? Do you speak Spanish? To be completely honest the chances of a 17 year old finding work in Spain are slim unless you are an extremely highly qualified 17 year old who speaks fluent Spanish. Spain has very high unemployment, especially amongst young people, so in order to find a job you will need to have something that can really set you apart from the competition. My advice would be to find a job wherever you are in the world now, save up some money and take an extended holiday in Spain rather than trying to find work out there!

A) you don't get jobs for a month. B) you can't work in Spain until you're 18. C) there aren't any jobs in Spain for the uneducated, unskilled laborer. Good luck with that.

You should wait 12 months and pray a hell of a lot
