Amazing Opportunity for Personal Growth, Very Low Pay

My time in Madrid might be the most important period spent in my entire life. Professionally, culturally, and personally, I felt like I was challenged. Feeling myself mature everyday was so exciting. The instant gratification of progress and amazement, whether that feeling came from work, people I met in the city, co-workers, or the culture, was something that makes me want to continue throwing myself into similar situations in the future. I highly recommend working abroad to anybody with even the slightest curiosity of what's, "out there."

However...

Compensation from the program itself is only 1.5x to 2x the cost of rent in the city. Have a second source of income ready to go or at least $750/month saved up before you move to Madrid. This will allow you to eat out every now and then, travel, and find a nice place in the city center.
