You do not have to ask TWICE, you know . . . My SIL is an RD MS CDE - and was laid off *last* June, and cannot find work. Nursing or physical therapy - or even radiology tech - are hiring more, and paying better. NEVER EVER think of moving to NY unless you already have a good job. Wherever you are - stay there - unless it is even MORE expensive than living here. Why do WE live here? We are retired, draw nice pensions (and will get SS soon!), have really good investments, and are 100 percent debt-free - unless we CHOOSE do spend on ourselves - which we do, because we enjoy life. We worked really hard to get to this point - and are fine. I feel really bad for this next generation - my kids are in their thirties, and although employed in good jobs, it is harder and harder for them to think about a secure future - and THEY will never see pensions and SS like we do. This country is shooting the middle class.

By "finish my schooling", you mean earning at least a Bachelor's degree? To be a dietician [note spelling], you have to complete a college course and be registered by the state. Then, you could work in a hospital or other facility. Whether any jobs would be available, anywhere, is something you'd have to do some research on. Also, you may not be able to afford to live in NYC on a salary as a dietician - something else you'd need to look into. In any case, you'd want to have a lot of money saved before you make your move and, ideally, have a job all lined up before you go. Where your job is would determine where you'd want to live.

About best ways to live and work in New York for a British female

Best ways to live and work in New York for a British female?
I'm a student in the UK. I would very much like to live and work in New York City after my final year for as long as possible. I would like to know all the options there are to be able to do this. I'm a New Media student in my final year, but I would like to become a presenter or painter...ambitious dream.

Are you 18 to 26? If so, you could start out in the Au Pair Program. http://411newyork.org/guide/2007/04/22/the-au-pair-program/ http://www.aupairinamerica.com/ You get free boarding and pocket money. The only thing is, to work, you would need a "work visa" but being from teh UK, the process will easier for you.

I don't know why being a "British Female" would change anything (as long as you had a visa to live in the U.S.) You would probably live just like other young people in NYC: You'd get an apartment in one of the outer boroughs - probably Queens or Brooklyn, with or without a roommate. Where you worked would depend on what kind of visa you had. If you had a green card, you could work anywhere, and then you would end up doing much of the same kinds of things that young people do in NYC - bar-tending, waiting tables, etc. while you looked for the job of your dreams. If you had a special visa (like a J-3 or a J-4) you'd have limits on what you would be allowed to do. But the truth is, it's hard to get work here right now because of the recession. All young people are having trouble finding jobs.
