Hey guys.

I was hoping to move to Lanzarote in a couple of years possibly with a friend. I'm on holidays in Costa Teguise at the moment and am absolutely mesmerized by the beauty of the island. I am aware that jobs are scarce, before we get into this. Okay so. I am 16, nearly 17 and doing my leaving certificate in 2015. I have a couple of jobs I would like to get involved in and was wondering if courses for them are available on the island. My dream job is psychology, though I wouldn't mind being a doctor or an archaeologist. I have a lot of money in the bank from a previous car accident. I would get a job at a shop while at college. Possibly a HiperDino? My home that I could possibly move to is in Arrecife. I really like it and its cheap. I could definitely afford it. So..are there any colleges or universities that do my desired courses? Or will I have to study at home?? Also I dont know Spanish but have plenty of time to learn it. I catch onto languages pretty quickly because I grew up learning Irish and am currently learning both Irish and German at school for my exams. Also how easy is it to make friends? Did any of you find it difficult? I already find it difficult to make friends but people in my town are horrid people. Also what do I need to get to live there? Please don't shoot me down saying im too young to be thinking of this because I'm really not. Before I know it it'll be time to choose a college for my form at school ( in about 5-6 months!!). Thank you to those who will support me! I don't mean to sound narcissistic but I am quite hardworking and intelligent so I know what im doing and what I want. Thank you again!! :3

What do your parents think?

They said they don't mind me going as long as I study at home.

Why Lanzarote and what do you mean with a couple of years? Most youngsters would give everything to leave the island, as there are no opportunities and as far as I know there are only two Uni's in Teneriffe and Gran Canaria. Ok, you say you have plenty of money, but that doesn't buy you a good education. If you speak German, why not move to Germany, or study in Dublin and you'll easily find a job with German as a 2nd language?
