So, I am Italian, and I'm going to finish high school in more or less 3 years... (including this one).
I need to work after it...I can't afford to go to University, and with the new law...I probably never will able to.

Also I need money. It's for personal stuff, and it's my business, but it's not bullshit...I NEED some money...also because I can't stand living in this country and with my family any longer.
(I fucking hate the politics here, and the church, and the discrimination...and I hate  how my parents treat me even more; I am not even going to mention how shitty the society is; I am having a stressful life right now, it can't go on like this or I'll hang myself one of this days...I'd rather live and have a less traumatic life somewhere else on my own)

As soon as I can, I will start working in my country until I earn enough for an airplane ticket and  at least a week in an Hotel until I find a job and a small apartment.

Then I will go to another European country (it's a mess to get a passport for the USA or the like, and I'm not really sure I'd like to live in the USA...).

Now, where do you think I should go, and which job should I look for? I wouldn't care much about the job as soon as I earn a decent pay (I need enough to afford a small apartment...If I can't earn extra money I'll find some more-or-less-legal extra work, that's not much of a problem).

PS: I was thinking about going to the UK...but I'm not sure if the cost of life is too high, and if Italian studies are valid there...

PPS: By the way, I am studying in an Art school...dunno which kind of job it could help me find...but hey, it's still something, and I love it.

It's really hard to find jobs in the UK at the moment, if you can I would look for a customer services job where they want someone that speaks both Italian/English as office jobs tend to pay slightly better and language is something you will have over any other applicants.

Search Italian in www.reed.co.uk, it brought up quite a few results.  If you need more websites like this PM me and I'll send you a few links.

Arrange accomodation before you leave.  There are plenty of lettings agents in the UK; big ones to look at are www.belvoirlettings.com, www.rightmove.co.uk and www.your-move.co.uk but there are many others!!!  This is really important because hotels in the UK are ridiculously expensive.  Also, you might be better sharing a flat with other people as this will be alot cheaper than renting an apartment on your own.

Something else that I would suggest, to earn a bit of extra money and to get to know people is to try working shifts in a bar in the evenings or cafe at the weekends; I have a friend who went to Australia travelling on her own and she found that this was the best way to get to know people.  She had nothing else to do in her evenings as she knew no one so this is how she started making friends.

Hope this helps!
