hey! hey! hey! OMG...i found someone on the same boat! from the visa, agreement with the partner up to finding a job in UK.

...although lately, he's already thinking about the fiancee visa and asking for my ex to hurry his promised share he'll be taking care of his finances, job, savings, place.

me, on the other hand, will save some, get rid of things i don't need, be ready to go in a year or two.

It's so bad I'm actually considering working as an au pair in France just to be closer to my bf in the UK! What's the point of going to grad school and learning from a scientist who worked with NASA, the UN and the Pentagon if the only job I can get straight out of grad school is as a nanny? If I had known all that, I could have saved myself eight years at uni (including grad school)!!!
...but i wouldn't mind being a nanny or au pair, i love kids. after reading threads here in the forum, i learned about university stuff and no matter how good you were in school and no matter how many courses you took, it is still hard to be accredited in UK.

...just as long as i can be with my baby
