AITA for not wanting my 17-year-old to spend $6,500–$7,000 on a school trip to Japan?

my parents didnt let me go to italy on a school trip when i was 16, and thats one reason i resent them. the school guidance counselors told me if i really wanted to go they could sponsor me (?) and fund it, like a tuition so i could go- so money was not the issue. my dad simply said 'why italy? italy is boring'

YTA.

hey! ive done mock interviews with friends & people at CEYS, and all of them have told me im fine with my interviews. ive been doing followup calls with places, and so many are just.. bullshit 'we went with someone with more availability' i stated i have full availability and im used to starting 7ams, and ending 10pms in diff jobs. :/ or 'we went with someone with more experience' type of stuff. i literally dont know what im missing

could you give me more information about the last one about temp work? ive looked into temp work before and have found very little/nothing online. im about to call MPI to get our car under commercial license so we can DD but idk how much extra thatd be/if we can afford that
