What jobs in Spain are available to US citizens?

Question

Is teaching english the only option? If other options are available, what would be the requirements?

Answer 1

Very few, even teaching English.  With the EU, and the laws involved, it is VERY difficult to get a work visa.  Check with the State Department, or get in touch with one or more of the programs that set people up with jobs.  They help with things like apartments and visas, etc.  

Search: work abroad programs or work exchange programs

Answer 2

Not many, perhaps working at a bar illegally like some friends of mine.

Answer 3

I think your only option might be if you were highly qualified such as a brain surgeon. Just a teaching job won't get you into Spain. There are plenty of teachers available in the rest of the EU and they have a right to work in Spain.

If anyone from Spain wants to work in the USA they will only get in if they are very highly qualified.

Edit;  The cost of living here in Spain is much less than the UK or USA.

Edit;  You will need to check to see if the USA has dual taxation with Spain or you could be liable for tax in both countries.

Answer 4

you'll make more working as a english teacher in mexico than working in spain . the cost of living is extremely high.....
