aren't there people who travel overseas to teach english...? |
|
I am 19 and the highest degree I hold is a high school degree. I am living in the United States, where I was born. How the hell do I move to another country? I've done research, and it seems that the only real way to relocate abroad is to get a job invitation from a company which, lets face it, I'm not going to get any time soon. Does anyone have anything to say on this? |

Try the Peace Corps. You'd be doing some good in the world AND moving elsewhere! |
|
Go to uni abroad. That's like a step in the door. |
|
These are all good suggestions. Does anyone have any more? |

Several countries have visas known as "working holidays". They typically let you live and work in the country for a period of around a year. You can pretty much do any job that requires you to be "legally entitled to work in the country" as opposed to a citizen. I have a friend doing agricultural work in Australia right now. I know of someone else in New Zealand too. |

Because no one will take me. In the sense that we're talking about, or that an employer is talking about, I don't have much going for me. |

What are some common jobs that are foreigner-friendly (other than teaching)? |
|
Ha, yes, that is very true. Well I believe my friend Tim put it rather succintly: "man, all I want is a job that pays me, my own place to live, and a bitch to fuck" So basically that. The work doesn't have to pay well. Just enough to pay for rent/utilites, food, booze, and women, which doesn't seem like it would be too much money. |

Yeah but working holiday is only for Canadians, New Zealanders, Australians, and the Japanese. Americans are left out. I don't know why :/. |

I met a guy in prague, and then again purely by chance in Paris, who travelled from city to city across eurasia living in hostels and doing small jobs there. |

Yeah, I've thought about this, but it's definitely harder being an American. I honestly wouldn't mind doing that. And in a sense, it's definitely really seductive. The only problem I have with it is the amount of time spent in each place, thought the awesomeness of essentially living anywhere and everywhere makes up for the lack of strong bonds you built over time. |

Mmm, yeah, that is fucking awesome. Also I think I'll do TEFL regardless. |
