For example, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, business specialties, accounting, law, theology, and the arts are specialty occupations.

Hi NC - I did review the sticky. My degree is business and marketing, am I good in my job? Subjective question.....not going to say that I'm am crap, then again, not going to say that I'm the best either :)

I don't dislike live in the UK, I've got a good standard of living, I hate the weather though...the pissing rain, does become rather tiresome..

Spend some time travelling though US whilst at Uni and I've been to a few cities on business - do I know what it's like to live in the US? Can't say that I do, however, I'd like to give it a go.

Having moved around a bit since Uni, live is not easy when you move away, however, whether I am in Northampton. London,. Manchester or Newcastle - whilst not the same as moving to the US, there are some parallels, in that you have to make new friends etc.

Being an avid golfer, I would prefer the Southern states, one would have to go where the job was though...

sorry to hear that my friend - the reality is though is that if you are sick in the UK these days, gov't aint gonna pay for shi*. Mortgage or loans - forget about it....you can't pay you will lose your house, so there's not much difference there.
