Living/Working in Europe
ABOVE: Is this Danish guard protecting the Queen from danger, or is he just trying to keep foreign job-seekers away from the palace? What foreign tourist hasn't visited London, Paris, or Rome and thought, "I'd love to live here?" Unfortunately, it isn't that easy--at least for foreigners outside the European Community. Work permits and residence visas are hard to come by unless the job-seeker has an essential (and hard-to-find) skill. To put it another way, you're more likely to get lucky as a computer programmer than as a liberal-arts major. Still, anything can happen: I once met a dental hygienist who had obtained a work permit for Switzerland, a country that is notorious for being hardnosed about non-millionaire immigrants. And obtaining a student visa is a good option for those who can afford to live and study in Europe for a year or two.
