Work / Average monthly salary in Poland is around 1000 PLN (few hundred bucks). [387]

In Poland, Tipping is a city in China. bad career move, bud.

just a short term career kinda thing, I like alcohol and partying, seems like the perfect setting for me for the meantime.
so Poles don't tip at all or tip less then people in North America? I didn't pay much attention when I went to clubs in Warszawa.

Work / What kind of job can I find, can I make descent money in Poland? Coming from Canada. [33]

You are so desperate to stay in Poland , makes one wonder whether you're really from Vancouver and not Karachi or Islamabad :-)

Ha aren't you a funny one? I was born in Vancouver and have 3 passports (Polish, Canadian, and Iranian which is pretty much useless). Believe me whether you want but I am not here to "redocument" myself, just here to seek some advice specifically on bartending in Warsaw which I haven't really gotten yet.

I've chosen bartending because so far I don't have any more education after high school and im a young guy who likes to party, alchohol (it's in my blood =p) so it seems to be a perfect setting for me.

Merged: I'm from Canada. Want to stay in Poland longer but need a job, read what I have to say.

Heya buds I am a 21 year old from Vancouver, Canada currently residing in Lomianki (10 km from Warszawa). I am half Polish half Persian and know adequate Polish and am enjoying life here in Poland but I need a real job, I currently work at my uncles construction company but with a 1500 zloty income per month is low for me plus I hate the job.

I live at my grandparents so that's a plus, I was thinking of taking bartending courses so I can work as a bartender w Warszawie. Does anyone have any experiences this? Do bartenders make decent cash? I searched on the internet for these questions but didn't find much info.

Oh and also does anyone know some quick ways on how to learn Polish? I'm slowly learning but the grammar is some tough stuff, are there any programs on the internet that can help me with this or maybe some Polish teaching schools for foreigners?

I know it might sound silly that I left Canada for Poland but I love family and this beautiful country even though some things are harder here.

Thanks for those who reply!

They're not just ordinary nuts, these are pistachios were talking about! Why would I have problems crossing the border with a truck full of nuts? I could use my Canadian, Iranian, and soon to be Polish paszport to my advantage. =p

If this is a crazy idea can you guys tell me if I have a chance of teaching English?

Hey guys im from Canada and of Polish/Persian descent. Currently im staying in Lomianki which is a town close to Warsaw, currently I only have a High School Diploma and I want to stay here longer, im staying at my grandparents for now. My Polish isn't excellent, I understand almost everything but I have problems speaking Polish, but still working on it!

Problem is im running short on money and my family is bugging me on getting a job, I was wondering if I can find a decent job with my current education? Would it be possible to teach English? I am getting my polish ID in 2 weeks. My family think that it is a good idea driving all the way to Iran and picking up a crap load of pistachios. I brought some pistachios from Iran and my Polish family said they were pyszne, I think this might be a good idea transporting some since they are expensive as hell here.

Come on lads give me your insight on this! =D

Life / Are foreigners welcome in Poland? [267]

I had lived in Poland for one year five years a go and have not recieved any racism towards myself (I am half iranian half polish with dark brown hair and olive skin). People were really friendly towards me and i didn't notice people staring at me too much. When they stare they are just really curious about where you from and such. I was living in Lomianki near Warsaw so maybe the people there are more open to different nationalities. Poles loved my wavy dark hair lol.

Life / School system in Poland? [59]
