tragically, i’m stuck in the US. not sure how i’d even go about trying to get a work visa in the EU. any one country easier than the others?

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Try to find a job first, they’ll help with immigration. Finding a job abroad is like 90% of the initial difficulty, especially without knowing local language.

Easiest way is to work at a multinational company, and push for a transfer / internal application after a few years. That’s how I did it, from east EU to the west, but you have to be great in what you do. Second good option imo is to have highly demanded specialist skill like SW dev or doctor.

Third option is take whatever you can in most likely the service industry (e.g. bartender in Malta), and work your way up - they are going to love getting an American in tourist related roles. If you do this, might make sense to be already in the chosen country with tourist visa, and calling/walking around places to get a job, the other 2 can be done online.

Good luck!

If you find the right position, they'll help you with the visa

If you work as a software dev countries will basically throw them at you.

I remember this from my childhood. What is this? (So, what's the title of the book?)

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Richard Scary is the author. IDK which book this is from, there are many.

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Scary is a good name for a childrens books author.

Thanks,

And why isn’t driving like Cars and Trucks and Things That Go? Where’s Goldbug to make all my trips a fun search?

My brother liked Cars and Trucks and Things That Go so much that it became all he wanted my mom to read him. To entertain herself she started reading it as Cars and Trucks and Things That Stop, just using opposites for as many words as possible. This, of course, backfired and after his initial frustration, my brother preferred her to read it this way.
