How much money would I need to save up to move to Paris France?
I know it would take several years, but what is your estimate. I currently live in Arizona. I would love to move there someday. How much do medical assistant, phlebotomist, and registered nurses get paid out there, would it be the same as the United States, or less.? Also, would studying to become a doctor out there be good, or should I study in the United States before moving out there? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks to advance. God Bless.

Unfortunately, as a US citizen you cannot just up and move to France. To work there as a nurse you will need to be completely fluent in French. In addition, your qualifications are not recognised in France and you will need to do additional study. The problem here is that, as a US citizen, you may get a study visa to do this, but you will need to pay the full cost of the course, and there is no guarantee that you will be offered a job. US citizens are eligible to stay in France for 90 days out of every 180 days, as a tourist. If you want a long stay visa you must have accommodation arranged beforehand and show that you have enough money to support yourself without working. Other options are a study visa, but it's generally necessary to leave the country once you've finished your course; or, get a job. Even if you have qualifications acceptable to the French authorities, and can speak French fluently, you will have problems even getting a job offer as the French employer must get an authorisation from the French Ministry of Labour and prove that there are no French or EU citizens available to do this particular job, and that's difficult at the best of times.

Unless your French is excellent, don't bother. Also, two things: if you've never been and are in love with the idea, then go and experience the difference in culture and see if you like it enough to take that plunge, because it's a huge commitment. As a non-EU national, you can't just up and move to any EU country just like that. You'd need to sort out a job first, and even then there's no guarantee that you'll get the NECESSARY work/residency permit to stay there.
