[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course APs compare benefits and perks. If I were choosing between two jobs, I’d absolutely gather as much info as possible about the benefits, and even try to negotiate more benefits. Lol at you HMs who think APs should just be grateful to be in America, wiping your kids’ snotty noses.[/quote]

Comparing benefits--fine.

What is not okay is not having the capacity to realize what aspects of their jobs are actually positive--they only see the negative.  And materialism often wins.

And yes, it is an amazing opportunity to come to the States, just like it was an amazing opportunity for me to work in Peace Corps.  Challenges? Yes. But I chose and dealt[/quote]

No, it’s not some amazing opportunity to come to the States and take care of children. This is what HF fail to really understand. If it were some amazing opportunity just to come here then, HF in the suburbs and not as popular areas wouldn’t be complaining about finding an AP. These are young women who are excited to get an opportunity to live in new cities and explore. Taking care of a child is the other aspect. So what you see as positive, a young person isn’t necessarily going to see that. They are looking for the most relaxed experience that can also provide the most benefit. [/quote]
