Should I move to the UK?

Question

I have always loved England in films and pictures (even with the rain) and I was woundring if I should move to the UK sometime in the future. Will my accent be laughed at? Will I be able to make enough money to support myself (and maybe a faimly)? Is it worth the expensies?

Answer 1

You will need a work permit but these are hard to get unless you have skills that are in demand.

Right now we could use a few brain surgeons.

The UK  Embassy  closest to you will be able to advise.

Answer 2

very expensive to live in england. the people are somewhat snooty

Answer 3

i ask myself the same question.... should i move out of the usa.... i think you should really go see what its like first then make a decision..... i have a british friend who goes over there once in a while and she said that it is way to expensive!!!

Answer 4

England in the movies and England in real life are not the same ... I don't know where you're from but for instance the US we see in the movies is probably not the US of everyday life

maybe you should come and visit and check the reality first

Answer 5

I'm not sure where you're from, but no one will laugh at your accent, most of us think foreign accents are charming.

If your English is good then i'm sure you could get a job depending on your qualifications, there are many out there despite what some people will have you think.

Maybe you should come over for a few months and see how you like it here.

Answer 6

I am English and i am proud of my country but it does have a few problems at the moment mainly it is now very expensive to live here and our current government is ruining our economy but despite this i would not want to live anywhere else. England is a beautiful country and i am sure you would love it. English people are generally well mannered and no one would laugh at your accent as we are a multi cultured country , there is plenty of jobs for everyone at the moment and i think you should come on over and give it a try.
