Hi all

Myself and husband and two kids ages 14 and 12 are looking to emigrate to Spain at the end of the year
I will be finished my degree in 7 weeks with the open university and am wanting to find employment in Spain.
I realise that we have a lot of research to do and we are right at the beginning but was just wondering if anyone had any ideas where to point us in the right direction.
Also has any of yous every taken your dogs with you? We have 4 Labradors and was thinking maybe the best option would be to drive with them to Spain.
Any advice would be really appreciated
Thank you
Katrina

What's your degree in? What experience do you have? Do you speak Spanish?

Hi my degree is called an open degree mainly focusing on childhood and youth studies
I have experience as a supervisor in a bar, as a customer service representative for Orange and for the last 6 years as running a business with my husband, the business involves removals and deliveries whilst also working as a liquidator for one month for a furniture company

Also I will be trying my hand at learning Spanish before we go

I hate being negative but are you aware that the unemployment rate in Spain is extremely high with even very highly qualified Spanish nationals not gaining work. Your children would need to go to International School due to their ages which is very expensive. Do a thorough search of the forum and you will find loads of information on the lack of work and about the schooling.
