Working in Europe for a while?

[Soybomb]

So in May or so I should have finished up my degree. I'll be looking for a new job in the networking/system administration field then. I'm planning on looking at the pacific northwest for a place to find a job since it seems like its pretty nice there. My kind of weather, etc. But I also wouldn't mind checking out a different country for a bit either. In particulary the UK could be cool for a couple years, maybe Scotland or Ireland. What are the chances of me finding a job there and how hard would it be to get a work visa or whatever I would need to do so?

You should be able to find a job. I think there's a good market in your field right now. As far as getting a work visa in the UK is concerned, I think you have to get a company to sponsor you first. They have to justify to the UK government why they want to hire you instead of a UK citizen.

Also, make sure you can deal with the weather. I lived in London for half a year, and missed the sun. Here's a quote from the Daily Telegraph:

Met Office records show that this year England and Wales had the sunniest January since 1961, with average sunshine of 2.35 hours a day: 140 per cent higher than normal.

Sun is highly over rated. I like overcast/rainy, thats why I'm also into the pacific northwest

How's the pay scale between here and there usually?

For that matter, anyone know how the internet business is there? Ideally I'd like to work for an ISP or carrier.
