Mountainous Regions of France and Work?
Hi there, I am trying to find out, what parts are the most mountainous and popular. By this I mean, what are some major cities that are situated in/near mountains? Also, are there any cities in particular that generally have more jobs than other areas? I am planning to go to France to work, and I would prefer to be in the mountains (grew up in Austria), but mainly I am looking for a nice city that may offer a decent job. Any knowledge you can share about France would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Look in the Rhone-Alpes area, I lived in Lyon, the closest big city to the mountains but it isn't in the mountains. The mountains are a day trip. Grenoble looked quaint and fun, I would want to live there, nestled in the mountains, has a university. Geneve is surrounded by mountains. That's what I know, look up a map with mountains shown -topographical maps - online there is some topography in http://www.franceproperty - and - information.com/map/ offrance and better information about the cities, how large, the kind of business, tourist oriented jobs perhaps, on Justtourfrance.com - Look up Lyon for a nice not obnoxious big city for jobs, and then nestled in the mountains are Geneve, not far from there smaller towns like Chamonix, Aix-les-Bains, Annecy, Annemasse, Chambery and Grenoble is a little bigger. Its called the Rhone-Alpes area. Wish I were getting a job in any of these places. Good luck. Oh yes, they like you better if you speak french and the paper work is unreal, the economy is hard to get a job in if you are a foreigner normally, probably more so now. The food is great around Lyon, people are a little more conservative but also friendly, the weather is great. Shopping in Lyon and near by is fairly easy. Big metro transport, trains are easy too. I loved driving through Austria to Vienna.

There is a place called Chamoniox in France. This is located around the French Alps into the Swiss Alps. You are able to take a tram that goes from one Alps to the other up from the small village of Chamonix but be prepared fro the cold weather! It can get very cold up there!!!

Feeling kinda lost
Feeling kinda lost..?
I'm lost. I feel like I'm wasting my life, but I don't know how to get it on track. My plans were to live in my native Austria, work the winter season in a bar, then snag a job as a computer repair tech and that's it. But somehow now that I look at it.... it's not very fulfilling. I want more out of life. I don't know, is it just a phase? It seems that every time I lay a general path for me to walk on, after being on that path for 6 months I get bored of it and want something else. And I can't really think of any job or anything that would fill that need. I feel like a dead weight right now. Uncertain what I should do, where I should go. All I know is that I was really truly happy when I was living with my best friend, but it's almost childish to want to live with him forever, seeing as how I've got a girlfriend and he does too and I doubt they really want to live like that. Plus I need something of a career to start. I can't just jump from job to job doing random things my whole life, there's no security in that. I can't start a family like that. I feel almost ahead of myself, since I'm only 20. Everyone my age is just thinking about the now and not about settling down and finding a permanent place in this world.

I think what you are feeling is very common for people your age, it's a transitionary stage. I am going through a similar thing as I enter mid life, which is another transitionary stage, it's like...OK, we've done that...now what? There are some "tools" available, like preference surveys, talent and interest surveys to help people determine what their skills and interests are to help them set goals for themselves. If nothing else, such surveys may remind us of some options that are available to us that we may have forgotten about or not thought of on our own. I don't think there is a clear or easy way to decide where to put our energies at such a time, part of it is going through the discomfort and lost feelings, it is a neccessary part of the process and not a sign that we are truly aimless or doing anything wrong. It is this feeling that will actually motivate us to find a direction. There is a restlessness inside us, a hunger that causes us to seek an answer. Sometimes just doing a chain of random jobs, meeting and speaking with a large variety of people puts something into motion. We find out what we don't like, which eliminates some things, and what does peak our curiosity. It also helps to keep in mind that whatever we choose now, we are not stuck with for the rest of our lives. In life we will have several transitionary stages when we will be able to, or required to change tracks. It is not as if the decision you make today will trap you forever. I don't really have an answer, I am going through the same thing, and asking myself the same questions as you...and trying this, and trying that, and wondering if I'll ever find something to put my energy into, then I remember that I've been here before, and if I keep my eyes and heart open, and am a little patient (though sometimes a little impatience is healthy too!) something will present itself. It always has. best to you!

I absolutely loved Eiere's answer, please read it again and listen. I wouldn't be 20 again for any amount of money.

I am desperately looking for a way to make money in Austria, can someone show me a way
I am desperately looking for a way to make money in Austria, can someone show me a way?
I moved here a year ago with my two kids and wife of 13 years. She is Austrian, and about 3 months after we moved began having an affair. My german is basic at best and I have been looking for work but without excellent german skills, I have found nothing. I do not want to lose my children, I love them soooo much. In the states I worked in the telecommunications industry for 8 years and was vice-pres. of 2 fibersplicing companies, but here I don't even qualify for McDonalds. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My friend from Austria wants to go to school here in the US, what does she need to do?
She would also like to work here. How does she begin the process? Also, she specifically wants to be a pre-school teacher and is taking classes in Austria. Will the credentials pass over to the United States? Will she have to start all over with her education? Is there a website I can go to? Thanks!
