Americans
When it comes to the wonderful world of working holidays, Americans get screwed. As far as I know, the only working programs available to Americans are for the UK and Ireland and these are only open to full time students or recent grads. The program is done through BUNAC, specialists in student working holidays, and visas can only be obtained through them, not through the relevant embassies.
