Hi all, I want to work in Ireland. I have been studying for a two year degree in nursing. Is there anything besides nursing and IT stuff ( I am NOT an IT person!) that an American can legally work at in Ireland? No, I haven't been studying in Ireland. Only the US.

well the recession hit us pretty hard, and 1000 people lose their job every day, so you probably wouldn't find a job easily

work is very hard to get in ireland at the moment i suppose like everywhere else around the world

You can work at anything you like in Ireland, as long as there is demand for your skills. Right now I'm not sure about nursing, but I do think that there will be a demand for science graduates again, as we're not producing enough of those ourselves. Oh, and by the way, Irish employers are far more like to employ EU nationals, the paperwork is a lot less expensive. So if you have any way of getting citizenship of an EU country, it will be much easier for you.

Shure come over if you are in the form. Otherwise stay at home. Do lots of reseach and ask questions here if needs be. Maybe use the yahoo answers search engine too

have you been studying in Ireland? If so and your student visa is vstill valid you can work up to 20 hours. you need to give more information! You americans can go on a bit when answering simple question face to face but you sure are no good at asking questions!

There are a lot of Irish who want to work in Ireland as well so you may have to get to the back of the queue...which at the moment is quite long! As you are not a citizen of the EU, you would have the same problems getting work in Ireland as you would anywhere else in Europe. You need to have a skill that is in short supply over here, and you will also need a work permit. Either that or have a shed load of money to invest/start your own business, or find someone who is willing to sponsor you.
