How about Nepal?
Join the Peace Core... teach in Nepal and earn money in dollars... that way you get about 70 nepali bucks to a dollar you earn... and everything else is dirt cheap... plenty of english around too... oh and weeds free

Although virginia is pretty nice too... but rather boring.

Go live in someplace like southern New Hampshire.

Quite, but close to Boston.

No sales tax.

Great outdoors all around.

I really hate to say Las Vegas. We have too many people move here. Like 4000 a month move here. And they bring their supposedly good moral values with them. They have tried to outlaw lap dances here already. Don't expect prostitution to last long in the state of Nevada.

Anways Las Vegas is THE city with the best housing costs (better act quick though- they are rising rapidly), easily the best job opportunities.

Crime sucks- but that is only in gang neighborhoods. If you don't live in a gang neighborhood, crime is not very bad at all.

Needs to be fairly cheap.
-Good job oppritunities. Noted above. We have the best job opportunities. Hell we even have a computer publisher with Westwood studios.

-Good education. This we are not good at. Our college is so-so. Our public education is horrible. If you have kids send them to private school.

-Something to do!!! We have everything to do here. You can do anything where I live.

-Fairly low crime. I don't want to get murdered on the way home. Explained above. Just don't live in a gangland and you'll be OK. For which areas have gangs, I can provide further info.

Cool. Do I need to get a work visa or something like that? How do I start looking?

Its pretty much the same here in Australia (the IT Industry that is), so much demand, not enough people to fill the places, its easy for IT Graduates to get AU$50,000+ first year out of uni, and with no prior experience... companies are even recruiting students before they have finished their degrees!

But, as to how you would get started, seeing NZ is pretty much the same as Australia, I would expect you would need a residency visa, but don’t get to stressed, I shouldn’t think you would have to much trouble, you clearly speak English and are skilled .

If you want to find out more information, try contacting a consulate, or the embassy itself. You could also try your immigration department, I’m sure they would be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the info.

So how do I look for work remotely?

i love how everyone suggests their own home

Hmmmm. Not cheap, but I wouldn't say it's THAT expensive. You can always go live in Lynn! *snicker*

Yup. Route 128 is the Silicon Valley of the East!
-Good education.
Boston colleges, we founded public education, etc.

Hell yeah! BOSTON!

Even in the most economically depressed areas, like Worcester and Lynn, crime isn't a huge issue. I wouldn't go walking around alone at night in all areas of those two cities but hey, nothing's perfect!

How do you figure Worcester and Lynn are the most economically depressed areas of the state?

Now I grew up in Massachusetts (Dorchester ), but don't tell anyone because I've been living in Canada since I was 18, although I return frequently to see my parents on the holidays. But I think if you want economically depressed areas, go to Lawrence, or Lowell, or anywhere in the Merrimack Valley. All those cities have unemployment rates of around 18 percent While Worcester, for example, has about a 5% jobless rate which is about in line with the state as a hole.

And Lynn, while I don't know the figures, I would guess its around the same as Boston's (5) seeing as it is almost seamlessly integrated with the rest of the city of Boston... albeit on the North Shore which is traditionally poorer than the South Shore or the city itself. Plus, Lynn is headquarters of Eastern Bank (my bank ) which is one of the biggest in New England.

And if you want real economic depression, come to dottie (Dorchester, if you didn't know) or Mattapan or Roxbury...not to mention Southie, Charlestown, or the South End (the Puerto Rican part), then you're pretty liable to get shot at if you look like you don't belong.

But all in all MA is a great place. Although, Monolith, don't take this the wrong way, but are you a native? You don't seem it, especially looking at your avatar, if that is you... I don't know, you just don't look very "Boston". What you do look, and sound like, is a college kid from somewhere else who moved to the city to go to school.

I don't mean to rag on you, but its pretty typical for kids out from somewhere else to come to Boston and then be all gun-ho about how awesome it is, and then try to pass off like they're from there (with their brand new Sox hats and all). When we were kids, we used to pick them out on the T and give them a hard time Oh, Childhood...

Am I right? Either that or you're from out west in the state, maybe closer to New York or Connecticut.

Of course I could be totally wrong... so prove me wrong and make an ass out of me! But my economic stats are still correct.

Tass, we Finns miss you, get here.

First of all, the level of education is high and you shouldn't have problem to get work in English if you have some special knowledge, but especially in the IT sector you could have good chances. It depends very much on what you work with. However your age might be a small liability and the language, but overall this is a quite welcoming place for you. As for the price level, the taxes are higher than in Utah, but as you know, you have good civil liberties and there's social welfare. Need to say more?

Oh one more thing...

New Zealand would be bad for you as brodband connections are expensive down there (ask RedBull or Blake). So if you want to keep that in mind too, Finland is a good choice too.

But that would still involve living in Finland

Don't move here, it's too expensive! And don't listen to most of these people who sound like boosters, most of them are simply too ignorant to leave their crappy homes.

San Diego has great weather, the economy is one of the best in America, there's low crime, lot'sto do, and there are a lot of cute girls. Sure, housing is on the expensive side but did I meantion the abundance of cute girls?

[Dis]

San Diego is mega expensive.

Nothing can beat Vegas.

But again it's not the best place to raise kids. We have low morals despite Californians trying to force us to have morals. And our school system is beyond crap. And our crime rate can be bad in some areas of town.

Sure we lead the nation in suicide rate and smoking. But those are individual choices. The city doesn't cause people to smoke and commit suicide. Then again, maybe it does.

[Dinner]

San Diego is costly but it is less expensive then places like San Fransisco plus we have fewer weirdos & extream leftests (but I repeat myself). It costs me $1200 for a two bedrom and rent the other one out so I only pay $600 per month. Not bad considering it is two years old and near the beach. Plus salaries here are higher to help pay for the higher rent.
