Work or Study Abroad

books These are all links to sites which will charge you a lot of money to help arrange a place for you to work. I've also been looking for information about finding jobs overseas, and it seems that there are lots of legal documents to arrange. If you want to get a more permanent job from a company, they'd have to invite you to work for them and arrange the legal paperwork.

Check with your school about doing an exchange if you'd like to study abroad. If your school doesn't have exchange programs (but most do), check into some of the sites below, but they will be much more expensive.

Personally, I think that most companies will charge you a ridiculous amount of money for you to work. I'd advise getting a job "under the table." I haven't, but I met a lot of people who did. If you have time and like a place you're at, just ask around if there are any jobs open. Most are in hostels or in a pub, or similar work.
