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.
