    Does that mean 'one: I am 50ish'? If so, that's Australia out.

    But seriously, if you want advice and support, then a bit more detail and help would be useful rather than "I want to work abroad, where should I go". People here are good, but not mind readers (as far as I know...).

    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    Have you considered Jeopardy? I understand there are thousands of jobs in Jeopardy, but I can't find it in my atlas. I thought it might be near Jubai, but it seems it isnt.

    You are not allowed to just go and work in the USA, you have to have a special visa. Which you generally need to be a student for, special talent, married to a US citizen etc.

    If you are over 50 you cant do Oz either.

    More information is needed!

    What sort of thing are you wanting to do, and where are you wanting to go?

    This summer I did a little bit of work in France through the HelpX scheme (but there are others similar), where you help out on a farm/house/B&B/whatever really a few hours a day in exchange for bed and board. So you don't get paid, but I spent six weeks and spent a grand total of 10 Euros.
