I wrote my papers last wednesday, and should be finding out this week if I passed my test. Im a little nervous, I know the red seal is just a piece of paper, but I failed it the first two times by 1 %.

I do have another question though, for those of you who have worked out of province, and country, across seas etc... How did you set up a job, and housing, especially for Europe, new york? did you travel with family, or alone? Any information on how to obtain some experience in different countries, would be greatly appreciated.

In the UK housing prices are insane! When I was 18 and living in Oregon I could work for $5 an hour and afford a decent one bed apartment (this was back 25 years ago). A lot of hotels in the UK offer staff accomodation/shared houses, it's sometime the only way they can recruit staff to work in the bigger cities such as London.

Thanks so much, that kind of gives me an idea of how it works.
