What do you think about these women? spain, italy, british, france?

I can highly recommend Italy - beautiful art, architecture, scenery and music, interesting local festivals, great people and food. Beaches, mountains, lakes, the ocean, historic sites, world class museums and galleries and a lot of varied things to see and do. The best part is the wonderful Italian people.

You do not need a visitor's visa to visit any of these countries for up to 90 days as a tourist. To get a work visa, you need to apply from the US. European regulations require employers to advertise jobs and demonstrate that there are no viable European candidates for a job before they can offer a position to a non European.

In the best of times non-Europeans have to have specialized skills, education and/or experience that cannot be easily duplicated by European job seekers. You're more likely to get a job that takes advantage of your education and skills than an entry level job; however, it's very difficult. Expecting a job when you don't already speak the local language or expecting employers to go to the time and expense to get you a work permit when that wouldn't be necessary for European candidates is unrealistic.

Right now, the overall unemployment rate in Italy is around 12% and it's around 37% for young people. In Spain and Greece, the unemployment rate is 27% overall and much higher for young people. In Portugal, the unemployment rate is 18% and France is seeing record high numbers of unemployed people.

In the UK, the unemployment rate is 7.8%, but at least the number of jobless fell in June. Sweden is a lkittle higher. The lowest unemployment rates are in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Norway.

Right now, the chances are not good, but it might get easier as the economy improves. My direct experience is with Italy where I lived for the past 13+ years (working for a Swedish company); other countries here in Europe will have similar rules. It's not all that different anywhere else.

The site for visas in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply. It also includes education visas which are somewhat easier to get than work visas.

You can find similar information for other countries on their consulate websites. Visa information on the website of the French Consulate in New York is here: http://www.consulfrance-newyork.org/-Vis... . You can find other consulate websites with a fairly simple search.

Note that you'll need to apply to the consulate that has jurisdiction over the state where you live, but you can find the necessary information on any of the consulate websites. A work permit is separate - you cannot apply for that yourself in many countries. The company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job.

As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience ... and you would have to be able to speak the local language. However, the level of English is high in Scandinavia and most adults speak it very well. You would be able to manage well while learning the language.

Right now, as noted above, the best bet would probably be something in the healthcare field which is a fit for you. When I moved here, it was through a transfer of the job I was already doing in the US to the Italian office. Even so, it took 8 months to put all the paperwork in place to apply for a visa.

If you already have a job offer, the company will provide you the information you need for your visa application and take care of things like work permits. It's useful to check the expat sites for information about living and working in the places you might be interested in: http://www.expatsinitaly.com http://www.escapeartist.com http://www.expatica.com You can find other sites by searching for "expat" and the name of your target country. These sites will tell you how to register your address, provide information about healthcare, banks, and so forth to ease you into daily life.

You need to be aware that if you are a US expat, you would need to file tax returns in the US as well as in your host country and that can get to be expensive.

I think Italy is the best. I've never been there. But my brother is.

He always tells me that Italy is a very nice place to live in. I would like to see Italy one day. And I like to meet new people.

By the way, are you sure that you're an African American? Because I wanna know more about you. Thanks [email protected].

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
