I don’t know, you try working with a bunch of J-1s in a Santa Barbara hostel for a summer. It might make you wish unprintable things about the potato famine.

I'm curious, do you believe an average J-1 in a SB hostel has a lower IQ than, say, an average SBCC student?

IQ is totally irrelevant. Turning up for work before noon and not being totally shitfaced/hungover when doing so is.

To give them credit, they worked doubly hard when they did show up and were sober and usually got 90% of what they were supposed to clean for the day done. Whatever other places they were trashing in IV on their nights out I can’t speak to
