I want to live and work in America?? Need some advice?

Im a 17 year old biritish citizen and would really like to live in and work in America. Ive been there a few times before and know that is what I would like to do, however do not know what the first step is that I should be taking, in order to make that happen.





Im unfortunate in the sense that I still do not have any idea what I want do career wise yet, so Im in an office trainee job at the moment doing admin work etc. This is not what I want to do on a permanent basis, but is just to gain some work experience and bring in an income.





How would I be able to make this possible? As i do not know where to start. Please can you also suggest some career paths that I could take or what my next step should be?





It seems like a real longshot at the moment but I know it is where I want to live and work so want to try and make it happen. Thanks for reading!I want to live and work in America?? Need some advice?
Start by contacting INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) in the Government, and find out what it will take to get a work visa (green card) here. I do think you need to be 18, but if you're a student, you might not have to. After that, it's combing the ads in the newspapers, or going to an employment office or temping agency to find out what you are qualified to do, and then working at it for a while until you gain experience. Then after a few years of that, you will be either (a) a naturalized citizen, or (b) having to go home because your green card will have expired, or (c) you will be able to apply for other jobs.





There really is no set path for finding work here--it's hit and miss at the moment. Some jobs are more likely to be hiring here than others: the ones you probably won't get far in are in manufacturing fields. Schooling may be necessary to find the job you wish--either college or special trade schooling like computer repair school or electronics tech school. Most jobs train their employees who come into the firm as entry-level employees, but they do require a minumum level of education or experience even when they do.





In office/clerical employment, you will be paid far less overall than in other fields. They tend to hire a lot of people who are very young and inexperienced OR at the other end of the spectrum, they hire people to supervise or be in charge of those inexperienced folks, and these have college degrees or equivalent experience.





it would help more if you knew what field or fields you wanted to look for work in. It's a bit too general to try to answer any more of your question without knowing that.





Good luck.I want to live and work in America?? Need some advice?
it's all about money here in the U.S. bring money with you to survive.
America has become a no man's land for the average man. Come at your own risk.
Hi. That's great. First get a passport, then get a working visa do all necessary paper work. While you are still in Britain continue to work. Maybe you can go on the computer and look at the


Most demand of jobs that we have, if there is a paticular job then make sure you get training where you are or when you come to America. You might not get the job you like at first but that's ok you can work two and follow your dream of coming to America. America is the best place to live. Good luck %26amp; Peace
