Im backed against a wall..?
Im 25, I have a good job in Local Governement in the UK, but I dont have a degree. All my friends are in the same boat, we all work for great employers, who pay us a good salary, we are successful, we have our own flats, we have cars, and I have never been so Bored with my life. I am so tired of the UK, its weather, its people, everything. I have wanted to emmigrate to US, or Austrailia for a while now, and although our three countries are the closest in terms of culture, I have found out it is virtually impossible for me to be able to emmigrate. Friends and Family say at 25 that i should just settle down, start a family, buy a house... I feel like I cant breathe and that if I dont make the move to the USA now I will never live out my dreams, and then after seriously looking into it, I am told it is virtually impossible for british to obtain work permits, unless they are doctors/nurses etc.. I feel frustrated, and defeated, any advice on how the british move to US greatly appreciated

I don't see why you can't...? Go to an emmigration web site and gather the info you need.....you'll probably get a green card first then you'll need to apply for citizenship. It takes a few years but it CAN be done....

It is more frustrating here! We have the worst illegal immigration CRISIS IN HISTORY. Our schools and hospitals have gone down the tubes. We are fighting dirty politicians tooth and nail. I would stay were you are it can't be as bad as it is here.

Boredom is a personal thing, a change of scenery can't change you, only you can.

You are a fine example of how illegal immigration adversely affects other people in the world who wish to immigrate to America. Illegal immigration is a loose/loose situation. .

Go first to Canada. It is easier to enter the US from Canada than from England. The laws are different. If know Brits that have done that without a problem. Once you are in Canada take what ever job is available until you are established. That is the real problem. Are you willing to give up your comfortable life style to start over at a scrappy bottom and work your way up again?

If you have the money, go to America on holiday to make sure you still want to immigrate. While you are here, you can visit the immigration office and get good information. It would help to have a Sponsor.

If you were to go back to school and get a degree in nursing or teaching, you could find a job in the US. We don't have enough nurses or teachers. IN Utah they are hiring Mexican teachers and my state, SC, has a program that allows teachers from other countries to work in SC schools. Another option would be to marry an American citizen. Good luck!
