I am in the very early days of considering to re locating to Brazil and would like some advice please.

I have visited Brazil once (Rio De Janeiro) and loved it although I know visiting a country is completely different to living in one.

I am a 25 year old male from London and I'm a UK qualified electrician, what kind of job opportunities would be available for me out there as I know the UK construction industry is totally different to Brazilian. I don't speak Portuguese but if I was to go through with a move i would learn it before moving.

Thanks in advance

Early dayz...... Hello!
OK... so now I´ve lived here in Rio going on twenty years. Funny... but back in 1971 I received my electrician´s training in New York. Went back to university and received my MIBA years later. Pay here as an electrician.... GOOD LUCK! Everybody and their mother is an electrician here. Getting a job for a large construction company will net you R$150 per day with LUCK!!!!! That´s about US$70.00....below the poverty level for you and me buddy! Stone masons don´t fair badly but you better be real good at it! You can make more money flying back and forth to the states.... once a month selling the goods here. About $8.000 a month if you´re lucky and your air fare plus expenses will be covered. No drugs and no firearms!!!!!!!! Good luck!
