six hundred dollars for the visa,
Holy crap, really? Ouch.
There are banks that do personal loans. Wells Fargo, for instance. I bet the terms are bad, and it's probably a big ole mess, but they are out there. The Great Ex got one several years ago, and it seemed to work out okay for him.
Oh but the rocking thing in my stacks of unopened mail? Opening a bill and then opening a check cause they owed *me* the money instead of the other way around. Kick. Ass.
See, I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with paying it back immediately. I would be working consistently for a year, at least, anyway. But given my current (lack of) financial situation, there's no way I could make that money before the end of the term.
No wealthy aunts, sadly.

I did one through my credit union seven years ago and got a pretty damn decent rate. I'm really going to miss my credit union.

Can you try to nail a job before you go? Sometimes, if you do that, they pay for, or help with the visa.
Well, the problem is, I don't know where to look; and since I'm not starting until September, more or less, that's a pretty long-term commitment for the four months I'll be spending there.
I'm naked under my clothes.
I'm wearing a sarong, and smoking.
I'm wearing pants.
Oops, gotta run, time to get on The Jungle Cruise.
