What our users say: Mark Moore worked for PGL after completing his degree in Marine Biology. He is now working towards an MSc in Aquaculture. "One of the most rewarding things is the fact you might be instructing youngsters who've never seen the countryside before and then they go home remembering what a great time they’ve had and, if you're lucky, remembering some of things you've shown them on their field study trip. I think the instructing experience has gave me an insight into teaching and some of the challenges and rewards of working with young people. My career is hopefully going to be in the fish farming, consultancy or outdoor sector. All my experiences as an instructor have given me a great boost to carry on and keep going with my ambitions." 0845 344 7525 PGL: Do you want to earn money whilst working in another country?
