How is the work in UK and Europe in general?
I'm thinking of heading that way next summer with a wad of cash, open mind, and a lot of potential. Any thoughts or suggestions?
...and by work I don't mean hustlin the streets...because I realised that last sentance there could lead some people to that conclusion...LOL.

you could always hustle on the street.
Wait...that was a no-no

your from Canada, you will need a work permit unless you plan on working under table. I worked in Helsinki, Finland for a while and I had a lot of trouble organizing my work permit even though it was sponsored by a major telecommunication company out of Sweden.

unless of course you have some kind of Commonwealth status thing going on with UK.

Right, I forgot to mention that I actually do...I was born and lived in Poland for 9 years. Poland is currently a EU candidate country in its last stages of acceptance...so once it becomes a full member of the European Union I am set to go.

yeah, what is the UK design scene like now? When I left it was pretty tricky. If youre not fussy (bar work etc.) you'll be fine mate...

I'm not fussy...I mean I could do a "regular" job but my whole idea was to go get experience doing what I do elsewhere...just to round myself out better.
Does that even makes sense?

your golden then, you speak English and once Poland enters EU you can legally work in any other EU State. Bling, Bling! :)

I know! I'm stoked! I just hope it happens by next summer...otherwise that will completely destroy my plans and i will have to have a serious talk with the EU.

theres not much work about in the UK at present

Is there MUCH work anywhere in the world anymore? It doesn't feel that way. Damn, makes me wish I was around for the "internetboom".

The work is primarily going to actually good designers and salesmen... Role up your sleaves and graft!

its all about your network/connections
though I'd say the UK (London) is more competitive then the US, so be prepared for some hard work...
