Hey I am new to this forum but am very serious as to making it abroad to live. I was wondering if you all could instill some knowledge in me in regards to this fact. Here are some of my details

1. I am a US Citizen
2. I speak English but really dont know any other languages. (Some Italian from studying abroad there, Some Spanish from high school)
3. Recently graduated from University of Kansas w/ 2 degrees. One in finance and the other in accounting. I dont have to put those to use in their direct field but its the qualifications I got.
4. My realistic goal is to live aboard in Switzerland for around 12 months working, supporting myself and see what happens.
I was wondering if anyone could provide me with tips, help, really anything because I am starting from scratch.

please feel free to email me.

THANKS!
-Max K
