Thinking about moving to Greece

22 years ago

I'm from Chicago and I'm thinking about moving to Greece. I'm a welder by trade but have been taking night classes at the local community college the past 6 years for the computer information sciences degree.
This is going to be my last year. I'm looking to get into networking. My family is originally from the Kastoria
area. That's where my parents are going to retire. I was born and raised here in Chicago. I have been to Greece numerous times when I was younger and I like the atmosphere there. I know I probably won't find that kind of work in a small town like Kastoria. I'm probably going to look for something either in Thessaloniki or Athens. So far I've been hearing alot
of negative things about moving there. I was wondering if there's anybody out there who can tell me
what I may be facing if I move there. And I was also
wondering if anyone can tell me about the opportunities there for someone getting into the computer field.

Thanks,
Mustang
