I really wanted to move to Europe for maybe a few years, but I ran into a problem. Despite the fact that I can find a job in less than a week here I don't have the on paper qualifications for a visa (no diploma).

I ended up giving up the dream, and now I have a mortgage :(

I'm in the same boat, but if you're american, one alternative is the DAFT treaty (what I'm attempting to do, just takes a bit of savings). Also, New Zealand has a working holiday visa if you're under 30.

oh wow! That's great.

Oh, also, if you like the DAFT idea, this guy has had some great recommendations (I've been talking to him a bit as well). He handles all the paperwork and ensures that your business plan will be accepted.
