Question From Germany to USA

Hi everyone,

How's it going? So, I'm from Germany, 21 years old and I got some questions about traveling to Los Angeles, California.
I've been there before, about 1 year. I lived with my father and uncle in Anaheim. It's been a great year.
I went to school in Anaheim (NocccD). I've studied english so hard within this year. And then my uncle passed away,
because he got some trouble with his kidney and my father got arrested, because he hit her wife. Then I had to go back to Germany.
He got out of jail 2 months ago and moved to Washtington, Seattle. Right now I want to move back to Los Angeles. I will be on my own, because I don't want to
move to my father. I really love Los Angeles and the weather there. I know, California is such a expensive country. That's why I got some question!
How to move there. How would you move, if you were on my position? My english isn't that well and I don't have enough money. I'm US citizens! How can I find
a job, apartment, car etc. It's really serious to me and I need some serious answers.

Thanks a lot and sorry about my english it isn't well.....ByeBye

What line of work are you in?
What is your rent budget or housing budget?
Where do you expect to work?

1. I learned hardwood floor installer in Germany.
2. I don't know....
3.Whatever.... but hardwood floor installer would be perfect.

I was thinking of saving up money to buy a car, because if I have a car I could sleep in my car untill I found a Job or an apartment... is it a good idea?

There's a rumor that there are a lot of floor installation (and other construction, home imporvement) laborers in the Southern California area already. Not sure about the competition. How much experience do you have and what kind of money do they make over there in Germany for this work?

Supposedly the construction industry is not growing at this time.

Living in a car? Good idea? In front of who's house?

1600 Euro each month, but it doesn't matter how much money we make here.... Because Usa has diffrent wages. I worked about 4 years as installer and I got a certificate....
