work and school
Hi
Im moving out to Sacramento in the summer (if all go's to plan of course) and I am scared about finding work when I get over there. I have a degree from England but it seems impossible for anyone to understand what it means. I also was planning on doing a PGCE to become a teacher before marriage was on the cards and perhaps will train in CA instead. The education system is so different out there and I dont know where to begin with research for jobs and further education. anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to BE 
So what visa you getting to come over?
As for teaching, look up state requirements, that'll tell you what you need to do...and search for past threads as there's a bit of info around already, if someone general as it all depends on what state your in.

"VISA? You mean I have to have a credit card to move the US? Won't they let me in with a Master Card? How about American Express - I mean to say, it's got American in the name, so they must let people in with those!"

Aaaahh Sacramento in the summer, bad air and the heat 
I'm an hour away and it's just as bad here.

These might be of use.
