Minor thread hijack incoming!

Quick background: I'm an 18 year old kid, currently in my first semester of college. I skipped out on the 2nd semester of my Senior year of high school to spend five months living on a kibbutz in Israel. I was able to take some college credit language tests before I left, but I still have some credits I need to fulfill. Thus, a semester of community college. At the end of the semester I'll have the credits I need to graduate high school. I also have a strong desire to leave home again, living independently like I did last year.

I'd really like to spend a few months (4-5 maybe) in the BV islands or a similar tropical locale. I thought maybe I could get a bartending license at home, then use it down in the islands. Any suggestions for other work to do, and does anyone have a familiarity with the housing situation down there? I'm not looking for a career or a job that pays lots of money (since it isn't very often that unskilled workers, like myself, get those sort of jobs), only enough to support myself over the time I'm there and pay for a ticket back. Other wild ideas are cool, too.

Right. Sorry again for the hijack, but this seemed like a pretty appropriate thread.
