    **Rant on**

    I would think taking the test is the least of your problems..Having been through the immigration process myself with my wife from Hungary, it's very, very hard to come here without either some high tech skill (engineer, doctor) or a refugee from some 3rd world craphole (like the endless stream of middle easterners coming here to Metro Detroit)..Especially as a European. It's ashame..Based on your post, you could probably study hard for a month or two, come here, get the job and learn the American system...

    Historically that is how we allowed immigrants to come..based on their desire to become part of the American family..We didnt do it based on some need for society, like Drs or engineers, or have the government boating in thousands of some underprivedged sect of a a cultural war on the other side of the world..All while ignoring those coming here illegally from Mexico.
    **Rant off

    If you are able to get here..Study up on your English and come here and do it..You wont have a hard time getting a gig Im sure...
