Hi all,
So a little about myself. I’m a recent college grad who did the societal norm of finding a job. After 6 months I realized I’m still young and I want to do what I want while I’m still young. So I recently just came back from a European excursion for 2 months after quitting my job in the States. One of my stops was Madrid, a city I’ve come to really love and a city where I’ve been another previous time. After coming back to the States, I impulsively bought a one way ticket Madrid for January. Since then I’ve been researching on all the possible jobs I could take on illegally when I do come so that I’ll be able to support myself. I do have a TEFL certificate but am worried that I might not be able to get a teaching job. Has anyone been in the same situation as I have? I’ve also been looking into being an au pair just so I won’t have issues for paying for housing, but I also want the freedom to do what I want when I want so I’m not sure if being an au pair is the best solution for me. My main stressor is that when I arrive, I won’t be able to find a job and I’ll be forced to return back home. Any job I can get (under the table) is fine with me as long as I can be able to support myself while living in Madrid. I’ve been told that just in case I can’t find a job, I should be prepared and bring a couple thousand with me, but what if I don’t have that? Any advice? opinions?
