Default Work in US - any ideas?

Hello everyone,

Hope I can get some fresh ideas from someone.

I'm a British citizen that wish to work in America. Married but with no higher education. That said I never saw it as an obstacle.

Can anyone give me ideas how to get work in America. Anything. Always the best option of doing things was to know someone, but most people I made friends with I lost contact over time.I played rugby and travelled through the US in 1998. Made loads of friends, played rugby and travelled with the team. Some great memories.

It seems near impossible for someone to get a sponsorship for H1B visa nowadays. You got a better chance winning the National Lottery....

*sigh* Well, Hot assed dune boy, I dont think there's much opportunity for visas based on having a hot ass.

Have you thought about Oz or Canada? Still not easy, but easier than here! In US a degree is much more necessary than in UK, and you havent mentioned you have a skill that an American doesnt..

See everyone else, i can be polite!

Well, I don't know about that.
Hasn't Peter Mandelson managed to secure a few visas for some nice brazilian boys in the past based solely on that criteria.
