<human>: Hello guys, sorry if this doesn't fit too well into the general tax and life plan vibe of the subreddit. I'm wondering if there is any way I could work in the US for a short period of time. I'm a sophomore in a Mexican university majoring in International Relations and I speak Spanish, English and German fluently. I did a month-long internship at a pretty important tax audit company, but I didn't find it much fun or educational. I also lived in Germany for three months while I was taking German classes.

Anyway, this isn't supposed to be a résumé, I think. I'll be blunt: I want to do an exchange year in Germany next fall. I am very luck in that my parents are able to fully provide for all my needs; education, car and gas, food and rent... I live a pretty stress-free life. But my parents would like that I contribute a little to the costs of doing an exchange in Germany.

I have no problem with working at all. However, jobs in Mexico pay pretty poorly in general. So my idea would be to find any job (as long as it's legal) in the US, even if it pays minimum wage, so I could get more money than I would here. Are there any specific paths I should be looking into? The only one I know of is through a summer camp program, but even then I don't know where to start looking for one and how the process would be like. I have family in LA and in a couple of cities in Texas. I also live fairly close to Texas, and have been there many many times.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
