- I am comming up to my finals in a BSc (HONS) Computer Science degree in about
- 12 months. At the moment I am trying to gather some information about moving
- over to California. Now I have a few questions and I woundered if any of you
- kind poeple out there would spare a few minutes to ansswer some of them. I
- would greately appreciate any info and any advice on the rationality of the
- proposed move.
-
- (1) ... Will I struggle getting work after graduating over here with a
- good degree in computer science. I would like to work in animation
- & graphics although I am flexible I am also interested in movie
- special effects.
-
- (2) ... Is it easy to come over to CA. from the UK visa/imigration wise
- and is it relatively easy to get a work permit.
-
- (3) ... Cost of living? Cost of houses/flats/appartments to buy & Rent?
- just on average.
-
- (4) ... Any other general advice that you may have would also be very
- very wellcome.
-
- You see the job situation is not that good over here at the moment and
- coupled with the fact that there are not that many computer firms here
- I thought that it would be nice to seek employment in the USA.
-
- Thanks Again for any info ....
