froggiemel Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hi all,my fiance and I are looking to move to Normandy (Caen-Bayeux-Cherbourg). I'm bilingual so finding a job shouldn't be a problem, but my fiance currently owns a car sales and repairs garage and doesn't speak a word. Would he be able to find work as a mechanic/labourer with no French? Also, what would be the development prospects? Would he have to stay stuck in a low paid job forever?We are worried about giving up a healthy business in the UK to go to rubbish, boring jobs and struggle financially......Any comments very much appreciated!

Val_2 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 You wouldn't earn anything near as much as you can in the UK either, too many charges for bosses to pay means the workers are kept on the minimum pay usually with hardly any increases for years. No french too, means very little chance of being employed due to these hefty charges where the boss wants his costs met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
