Re: UK-US Dual Citizenship, Immigration, etc. (possible teacher) Posted on: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 16:13:49 -0600

why dont you; since you anticipate a good maths degree, look into doing some
sort of masters (education?) here in the usa? choose the place you think you
want to live and see if its really what you expected. once here you can look
around to see what are the options. of course depends how much you want to
spend since study is not cheap (est ~$7000/year here in Louisiana
books/tuition/room/board)... dont take offense, maybe worth also considering
Auz they have a points system and with your age/degree/english lang/etc you
can probably meet the requirement... IMO Auz = best of UK + best of USA...
subjective of course... best of luck..
