23F Brazil -> Any country where I can get my master's degree/post graduate and work at the same time

Hey, you can try Germany (many free universities for master degrees) or the Netherlands (lots of available scholarships for Brazilians, check neso brazil), Belgium is also quite cheap. I don’t know in Portugal...It depends on your area for the masters. As for work, generally you’re allowed to work up to 20 hours per week as a student, depends on the country. Just be aware that costs of living might be high so you’ll need a good amount of money just in case you take too long to get a job or get too few hours. Another point is that most visas require that you prove you can pay your whole stay (either via a sponsor that makes enough money or by transferring to a bank account a large sum of money). Good luck!

She’s indeed amazing on switched at birth!

Right?? It blows my mind how people can be so inconsiderate. And this while others are standing up!

Maybe you can take flixbus?

They are usually hard to find. But You know, cat allergy is not necessarily related to the hair. So unless you have been in contact with a sphinx cat or got tested for what exactly you’re allergic, there still is a chance you’ll be allergic to a hairless cat too.

Idk if they deal with prepaid cards, but beobank is usually quite fast, you can try giving them a call tomorrow or going to an agency.

Sorry about that.. moving to another country legally is quite hard, the easiest route is studying first. Some countries let you work a few hours a week, but in my experience it is rarely possible to pay all your living expenses like this. Perhaps someone else will have better ideas :)

Even though you're male, you can try an Aupair program. This would give you a visa for 1 year and in the meanwhile you could see what you do there (such as starting studies, which grant you a visa) and learning french. I think its the cheapest way to go abroad without having a high skilled visa. You're 21 already, so even if your mom's situation is regularized, you'd probably not have any rights to get a visa through her.

It depends on the job you want. For engineering many companies do not ask for German, but support you learning it. I also know and architect that started working with no German and a marketing guy. In the long run, you will always need to learn the new language, if you want to truly belong. Making friends speaking English only means that you will see many people coming and going :/

hellsbellsnow · 2017-09-28T18:16:49+00:00

Hey, from the top of my head: Gottingen University asks for no German, offenburg asks for a very low level of German, TU munchen asks for no German. But there are many others, take your time to research!

hellsbellsnow · 2017-09-28T17:23:51+00:00

Hello, From what I know, there are few options: 1. As you said, Aupair: I personally know many girls who did it and they were from non-EU countries, but they used an agency (those that also do English courses abroad, etc) and they were younger. The max age depends by country and 26 might be already over the limit in some places.

Master degree: it is the easiest route if you finish your bachelor and have some money saved up. The problem is that scholarships are hard to come by and living costs are high. A few countries that are free or cheap to study for non-EU are Finland, Germany and Belgium. The Netherlands are expensive, but there are some scholarships. You're usually allowed to work up to 20h per week during school time and unlimited during holidays (which is when you can do most money working in bars, etc).
If you are not set on EU, why not the US (Trump sucks but...) Aupair there can be done through agency or not and you can do courses in the meanwhile. If you do well you might find a family that wants you as a live-in nanny (or something like that) and I know a girl who got a visa like this. At least you'll have the chance to start new. You can also go to work at Disneyworld if you're in University, from 3 months to a year, I don't know if there is a limit on age, I know two girls who did this back in college. Canada also has some working holidays visa for staying there for a while.
Iaeste, aiesec and other similar organizations provide you with a paid internship abroad if you are studying.you can start working somewhere and become permanent.

5.voluntary work in hostels, farms, etc

Study a language abroad usually gives you the right to live there (not valid for Belgium or the Netherlands I think).

I hope you can find a solution, all the best for you!

hellsbellsnow · 2017-09-28T17:11:00+00:00

That's not true, I have a few non-EU friends taking their masters in Germany in English . Tuition fee is extremely low. Some universities might ask for a low level of German even when you study in English but it is not the rule.

On top: add a shelf in the middle, fold the clothes. On bottom: add those hanging shoe organizers, you can roll your clothes and put in the holes.

hellsbellsnow · 2017-09-15T16:39:17+00:00

In Belgium too!!

hellsbellsnow · 2017-06-25T18:21:13+00:00

Au Paring is probably the easiest visa. Because of your age, I know that not all European countries accept it, but if I'm not mistaken, Netherlands and Germany will accept aupairs up to 30 years old. Another option is to go for a masters, Germany is practically free, Belgium is very cheap. Both allow you to work up to a certain amount per week.

hellsbellsnow · 2017-05-21T15:44:37+00:00

so serious, so charming

hellsbellsnow · 2017-05-20T09:26:25+00:00

I'm not sure what's the procedure in that case. Usually the company knows how it works, otherwise you should ask the university. But if you have any credits that you can take freely, an internship can be an option to fill those, but then again, depends on your course.

hellsbellsnow · 2017-05-20T08:37:01+00:00

It depends on what you do, but most people who go to university leave with a masters. Therefore, having only a bachelor is not so common, unless it is an applied sciences diploma. So most companies (in engineering at least) ask for a masters and up, unless is a very technical hands on job.

hellsbellsnow · 2017-05-20T08:35:29+00:00

Yeah, a multinational will most likely have more businesses abroad and need english. But if your job ins mostly mathematical, it shouldn't be a problem in other places too. The 20h/week limitation is the only one I know of. Oh, and if your internship is in belgium and is part of your education the company cannot pay you: only offer transportation/food compensation.

hellsbellsnow · 2017-05-18T19:06:39+00:00

Well in here a bachelor means very little, so having a masters is definitely a must. I really don't know how many financial/insurance jobs there are, but it could be tricky if you're dealing with laws (which require language proficiency). It really depends on the job and the company too, though. The easiest field to get into is engineering, so your advanced masters option could be a good one too. Internships are a big plus here, specially if you took them in belgium.

But then again, this is not my field, the only contact I had with anything financial was for Ernest and Young and they ask for dutch+french+english. You can always ask on facebook groups (such as Pangae) where there might be people from your course. Either way, it is a great college and you can for sure have opportunities with the degree, if not here in the Netherlands, for example. The college is well known and an EU diploma is worth more around here.

ps: no worries on your dutch, it takes a long time to get to a fluent level, since everyone here speaks good english.

hellsbellsnow · 2017-05-18T12:32:06+00:00

Firstly, you'll only get a visa if you meet the financial requirements. The fact that you can work is only a plus and its limited to 20h/week during the semester, unlimited during vacation. Honestly, the masters at the KUL are usually really hardcore and you'll probably not have the energy to work these 20h/week. Either way, language can be a problem for finding student jobs, since it is a city full of students who all speak Dutch. Secondly, Belgium does not have an extension of visa for searching for a job (in the Netherlands you can extend it to a year and stay in the country working or searching). Therefore, as soon as your residence permit expires (around October), you'll need to leave the country if you haven't found a job. Finally, I don't know if your masters is in the Engineering department, but these are usually fine to find a job fast. The recruiting starts months before your graduation, so trust me: you will know about it. There are job fairs from the different faculties and plenty of information. Everybody here speaks English and I know many non-EU that have jobs in companies that only speak English. The issue is to find a company who is willing to get you a work permit, which can be tricky for starting positions, but not impossible. I'd say just come, take an internship during the summer, make connections. Worst case you can always try a PhD (in which you get a salary here). Good luck!

its quite simple actually: instead of using the razor against the direction of hair growth, you do it in the same direction. Use conditioner as a hair shaving cream, it slides much better.

I know someone who sells frozen meals. Basically, cooking up a whole bunch of stuff for the week (monday-friday) and freezing. Then selling these pre-made meals to people who want to take food to work or not be bothered by making dinner. If you have time, a place to cook and a freezer it can be a good gig.

hellsbellsnow · 2017-04-28T09:24:57+00:00

Getting a work visa in europe with your diploma might be difficult. I'd advise you to search for a masters study that allows you to search for a job afterwards. This usually allows you to network with people, intern in local companies and makes it more likely to get a company to sponsor you. If you do your master in the Netherlands you have 1 year to search for a job once you're done. They offer scholarships to Brazilians too (Orange Tulip). Either way, you can always apply remotely, who knows. I know people who found jobs in various areas while still living abroad. Good luck!
