I had the good fortune to spend four months living, working, and traveling in the United Kingdom. It was one of the most enjoyable summers of my life and came after my sophomore year in college. So whenever college students ask me about whether a work or study abroad program is a good idea, they get very positive responses from me.

One of the neatest cities that I traveled in was Edinburgh, Scotland. In fact, all of Scotland was fantastic. But although I spent time in very small towns and in some of the biggest cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, I never worked in Scotland. All of my work was for a large retailer headquartered in London but if I wanted to find a job in Edinburgh or any other Scottish city, I likely would have had to turn to the newspaper classifieds or go to a temp agency. But that was 1986 and in 2007 we have better options. Now if I wanted to research Edinburgh jobs, I would go to a web site such as Edinburgh Classifieds. Isn't the Internet great?
