It is hard enough establishing oneself in their native country.<br><br>My wife holds a masters in Opera Performance and she and I have long shared the dream of living in Europe: France, Italy, or Spain. I speak French, she speaks Spanish, and Italy would be good for Opera.<br><br>I have spent some time at the websites for the organizations equivalent to PTG for these countries, but don't know the next step. I would love to hear any thoughts on the prospect of seeking international employment as a piano technician. These might be specific or general suggestions.<br><br>I am 2/3 to my RPT and assume achieving RPT status would be helpful in applying for any university or major music center employment. This move would be a few years off, but just getting my feet wet here.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Greg<br></div></div><br> <hr size=1>Be a better Heartthrob. <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=48255/*http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/_ylc=X3oDMTI5MGx2aThyBF9TAzIxMTU1MDAzNTIEX3MDMzk2NTQ1MTAzBHNlYwNCQUJwaWxsYXJfTklfMzYwBHNsawNQcm9kdWN0X3F1ZXN0aW9uX3BhZ2U-?link=list&sid=396545433">Get better relationship answers </a>from someone who knows.<br>Yahoo!
