As a local, I guarantee three years of low paid jobs (1K/mese), without being hired officially, until you either:<BR/>a) decide you love the food, people, history & architecture so much you want to stay and try to reinvent yourself and get money, or not, or <BR/>b) you go back home, make the money, and come over on vacation. Problem is, Americans can't take vacations!<BR/><BR/>That, my friend, is what is called a Catch-22.Irreverent Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104487411073849736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-19758200878531051302008-04-01T00:52:00.000+02:002008-04-01T00:52:00.000+02:00francesca, do you have any advice for an american ...francesca, do you have any advice for an american who wants to live in Italy like you....i just dont know how it is possible to live, pay US student loans and eat with 1k/mese.
