My husband and I are stuck in Germany and want to come home to the states. We need money!!! Where can we go???
We came over here (Germany) to help my husband sick Uncle with his horse farm. Now that he has recovered from his hip surgery he is making life very miserable for us. We do not have money to ship our household good back to the states and need help monetarily to do so. How can we get enough to ship household goods back to the states and find a place to live until we find jobs and get our first paychecks. We are losing our sanity and if we knew then what we know now we would have NEVER came over to help. Our lives our under constant servalence by them every minute of every day. We have to ask permission to use the car, to mow the yard, to breathe practically, and we are slowly slipping out of our sanity and if we had the money to go back to the states we could gain our sanity and join the rest of the work force in the free-world of the US. If any one knows where we can get that help please let us know. Thanks!

Wow, you word it as if Germany isn't a free country! How did you get to Germany in the first place, it's pretty much the same deal but reverse. (Yes I know, I've moved from many countries back and forth and am about to move back to the states in three months from Holland). I recommend going to the American Consulate. They are there to help you! If shipping seems too expensive the only option is to sell your household goods and start over in the states. I just went through about 20 movers to get the best price for my move and ended up hiring a shipping company. To keep the costs at a minimum I'm packing myself and unloading myself. Keep in mind you do have to have someone load the container for you otherwise your goods are not insurable. Good luck!

-any rich/loving family in the USA? try looking up a phone number for western union and calling them about international transfers. -How about contacting the nearest US embassy? -Say: screw my household items I need to get home, and LEAVE. -Honestly though, it sounds like you aren't really from the states and want to move here.... Which would make things a lot trickier.

What would it take for me to disappear to Germany and forget about the States?
What would it take for me to disappear to Germany and forget about the States?
I know it would take money, but what about becoming nationalized, finding a job, etc.? I've never been, but I want to start a new life in a foreign country. I've been speaking German for nearly 7 years, and in 3 years I'll have my bachelors degree in German with teaching certification. From there, how do I make the move to Germany and get started fresh? And what if I have a cat? Thanks.

Do you want to teach German in Germany? Do you have a grandparent that came from Europe? If so you came become a citizen of the EU.
2 :
Travel there for a long period of time first. I'm talking like a month or more. Learn about the government, politics, LOCAL culture, economy, food, etc. etc. before you make the final decision. The language is the biggest barrier, and you've already mastered that. You'll love it, I guarantee it. To become a citizen, first you have to live there for eight years, seven if you take a course in integration. Also, you have to have little to no criminal record, be fluent in German, and have a job set up so you can support yourself. May I recommend Munich, the capital of Bavaria? Bavaria is what you would "think of" when you think of Germany. Mountains, cows and goats grazing on huge pastures, yodelers, accordions, beer, bratwurst, VERY friendly people, and beautiful countryside. Yet Munich is a huge, medieval city with many opportunities for a huge income, just like life in a huge American city.

As a US citizen, you can come to Germany and stay there for 90 days without really having to do anything. If you want to stay longer than that, you will have to get a residence permit which you can apply for IN Germany once you're there. However, you need a job offer in order to get this permit.

Should I search for a job and take it just to make money, or should I wait to find the "right job?"?
Should I search for a job and take it just to make money, or should I wait to find the "right job?"?
I live in Germany, and am now fluent in the language. Right now, I am looking for a part-time job. My husband works full time, and I am looking for a job just to get me out of the house every day-I don´t have children yet, so the hours I can work are flexible. Should I take the first job I can get, even though it´s not something I really want to do-i.e. work in a gas station, or should I wait for the job that I would truly enjoy?

If you are going to work for the sake of working...very soon...you will have no idea why you started working for anyway. I work in Singapore's largest training company. One consistent phenomena we noticed as we teach entrepreneurship skills and finding passion at work is this. When people work in J.O.Bs that they are not passionate about, everything else in their life suffers. From health to creativity... basically, they experience a slow death. On the other hand, when a person passionate about a purpose/cause embarks on a business/work, then even Providence moves. Don't work to make a living. Work to make a difference.

I would think that if you're looking for the "right job" and wait for it by not working in the mean time, it could look like you're too lazy to work and the boss with the "right job" might not hire you. Plus, it's always good to get out of the house and make some extra money.

From what I remember from your recent questions, you have been applying for a number of jobs already. As you seem to be in the "luxurious" position to not to have to take on any job, get your local newspaper and check with the local branch of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit. You are an English native speaker, if you have ANY interest in teaching (children or adults) whatsoever, I'd suggest you offer your language skills in particular. You can always work as a shop assistant or waitress, but you have that "extra" qualification of speaking perfect English. That is your "plus" - which other applicants might not have. Did you think about checking with any Kindertagesstätte or pre-school nearby? You could come in for a handful of hours every morning, offering little English "lessons" to the kids there, they only want native speakers. Did you think about offering English courses at the local Volkshochschule? Offering private tutoring for school kids having trouble in English? If teaching is not for you, quite a few companies would be happy taking you on on a 400€/month basis doing office work, especially if you speak perfect English. I think your best option might really be to go see somebody at the Bundesagentur für Arbeit - they will go through a form with you, asking your for your qualifications and job experiences. If you are flexible when it comes to working hours, I'm sure they'll be able to give you a handful of ideas or even job offers straightaway. Good luck!

Italy aren't in bad shape. A win guarantees their passage. In fact, a draw should be enough as New Zealand are unlikely to pull off another upset. Germany are superior to Ghana. I expect Germany to emerge from the group as winners and Serbia as the other team. England are through with a win and should be able to handle Slovenia. If I had to pick one of the four teams, I would go with Spain. But honestly, I think all four of these teams make it through.

You didn't give us France as a choice (LOL). I actually think all four of those listed get past the first round. If I have to choose one, it would be England. They will be feeling the pressure against the Slovenian team who have already beaten Algeria and tied the US.

England. They are eliminated pretty much if the US beats Algeria. Even if the US only ties Algeria, they still have 2 goals over England in the total.

9 :
France without any doubt, but you did not list them. England is not a high power team, but rather the most overrated team. They are just an average team. So I do not consider them and do not care about them, but rather want them to lose asap. Italy are in trouble and could not score against NZ. First they got one but still struggles. So I think they will be out very soon, if not now but in R16.
