From New Zealand to Massachusetts (high school, living in, moving)

[ematthews]

Hi All,

I am a Kiwi (New Zealander) looking to hit the States next year sometime. I am looking at finding work over there for a couple of years. I am putting out feelers on several of these forums. Any advice on moving/living in Massachusetts would be greatly appreciated. I have a few specific questions that I would love answers to:

1. I am a Science and Biology trained High School teacher. Where in Massachusetts would I be most likely to find work in this area (I undestand I would have to get state certified first - which I am currently looking into)?

2. If I am unlikely to find work as a teacher what sort of area would it be possible to find work in, and where?

3. Are there places as a foreigner that I would find problems being accepted?

Any other advice is also appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
