However, any leads are helpful... Jessica- There are work permits available for students/youths under the age of 26 (I believe) for Americans to work for up to 6 months in Great Britian (similar ones are available for other European nations). At least this was the case ten years ago when went to work in England for a summer. You need not have a job lined up when you arrive, although it helps for piece of mind (two friends and I spent a summer working in England - two of us had jobs lined up and the third found whatever struck her fancy). BUNAC was the organization and it worked as a sort of exchange (I knew several Brits who came to work in the States for a summer from the same organization). This is probably how the other Angela is getting a work permit. (Britain also allows youths (under 28?) from its former Commonwealth to work there for a while (a year?). I have known several people to have done that as well.) angela Angela Putney, Ph.D. Physics Management Fellow American Institute of Physics One Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 Phone: 301-209-3135 Fax: 301-209-3133 E-mail: [log in to unmask]
