Thanks guys. I guess overall since I have to pay a fee for using the organization he was thinking with that a small salary of slightly over a 1,047 or so Euros that expense will eat most it while being in that city. If you guys ever heard of AIESEC it is a good organization. I am actually working for a multinational company and this is how I can bypass the German requirements. They needed an English speaker to do certain IT projects. Well thanks for the encouragement.

I know I can make the money but I believe it will help me grow which I am not currently in America. Also, if anyone knows about living in the capital of the US (DC). It is somewhere you have to leave because it is not a good place to go when you trying to find decent people to do things with on average.

My ability to travel is usually limited. I went on vacation about after a year or so working. It is drudgery in America but I see that it is good that I can possibly use this opportunity to my advantage.

One last thing worries me though. I mentioned of course how I am non-white (black) American. Does anyone have any information how the company is going to react. This is another reason I am a little bit unsure about going. This is because when interviewing (over Skype) for the position, they did not see me but I saw them and although the interview went well (later was able to get the position), they do not know how I look like so they might be worried when seeing me.

Once again thanks for the advice. At the end, I really wanted to go to Europe for years but I saw how Australia's visa process was a lot easier to go in the country and get work compared to Europe. I had to use an organization to do it and basically Jackal as you have said, my friend thinks I can use the Dept of State (they have a IT position when picked puts you in countries but not necessarily the ones you want to visit in 1-2 year assignments. You can pick it in the 3rd assignment choice). I am currently waiting for this but I think that this opportunity is good because I will be able to work with out other issues.
