Why would you go to the USA? Getting a work permit there is a nightmare. Not to mention their current .. uh, "difficulties".
As a Pommie Bastard your 2 best options IMO are:
- working holiday in Australia (you're eligible up to 18 months I think, you will have NO problems extending to a full work visa)
- teach english in Japan (I think the WH visa is good for 12 months) (can be surprisingly good)
Obviously I reckon AU is your best bet, we won't be hit anywhere near as hard as other countries by the current "troubles". Or, if you can't stand your criminal ancestors, I recommend a tour of duty in Asia - Taiwan, Korea, Shanghai. That's where the future lies, after all. May not be a good idea if you're a breast man.
I like SF and all but kinda thinking this is exactly the wrong time. The visa problems are just the icing on the bad idea cake.

- patio11 18y ago* teach english in Japan * You will find that this almost universally requires a degree from a 4 year university. They don't care if it is a 4 year degree in Dog Care, but it has to be a 4 year degree.
- sho 18y agoFor the big schools that is apparently true, but I wouldn't work for them anyway. There are billions of smaller schools who will judge on personality. Well, none of the people I know have 4 year degrees anyway. Some don't even have 3 year degrees .. Anyway, it's not going to be the hot startup break the OP seems to be seeking, but I know some guys who have done it for a break and they really enjoyed the experience, plus should be able to work in on a UK passport.
