Of course you could! There are plenty of opportunities for travelers who want to work overseas especially if you speak English or better yet, are bilingual. But to work abroad there are some things to consider before you go.
1. Find out if Americans can work in the country you intend to travel to. Not all countries allow foreigners to work there while they are visiting.
2. Get a work permit. This documentation is different from your passport or visa. You can organize a work permit before you leave home or once you arrive in the country you want to work in. This will depend on where you intend to work.
3. If you are a traveling student, it may be easier to get work through a student work exchange plan. Or you may even be able to organize a transfer through your company to work abroad. If so, all the leg work will be done for you.
4. If you have a particular job in mind, in a particular country, then you will need to do some research and contact potential employers before you go. If you do find someone wishing to employ you before you leave on your travels, get them to send you a letter stating the employment offer with a copy to their respective government. You will then be issued with a work permit for that country.
5. Consider working as a volunteer on your travels. Volunteer organizations are looking for helpers to assist with programs all over the world. You will be paid by the organization (usually just transport, food and board expenses), not the country you are going to. You do not need a work visa to be a volunteer in these programs.
If you are going to work overseas while traveling, register with the nearest embassy in the country you are visiting. Make sure you find out about the country you will be working in. Know if there are any travel warnings, political unrest and cultural conditions you should be aware of before you go. What immunizations do you need? Find out about the local laws, including employment legislations. And don’t forget that while earning an income overseas, you will be subject to that country’s tax laws.
Will you need to drive for your job overseas? If so, you will have to arrange an international driver’s permit. You must also take with you your valid American driver’s permit. All countries handle driving a little differently so check out what rules you’ll need to abide by to drive in your country of choice.
Working while traveling is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture of the country you are visiting. Be organized if you want to subsidize your travel budget dollar in this way. Don’t forget you can always offer to work in hostels in exchange for cheaper (or even free) board as a way to supplement your traveling costs.

Every country has their own limitations on what you can bring in, and how much of it you're allowed to bring in. There may be specific restrictions on the importation of tobacco and alcohol, as well as money. Should you exceed these limitations, you will have to pay duties to the foreign country, or the items might be seized.
Well i get the point because the wage was been not changing for a matter of time,but it doesn't mean that it isn't going to change. Automation is reducing jobs and the money that U.S.A is going to have. You have to work hard to earn money.
yes do the golden rule
There are scholarships.
and then there's the military.
But you need to be in a better University for your needs! If you are interested in studying languages, why would you go to a school that teaches ONLY Spanish? You need to transfer to a school that fits your needs better, and then take a year in Germany. That's all you need to do.
They may have a treaty with your country or be a party to some multi-national accord that would allow them to perfect judgement in your country. They may also be able to sue you in your country (I don't know about Dubai's legal procedures).
Sales jobs involve traveling. You usually start with domestic sales and move up into international sales

Hello,
First of all Swiss bank accounts are now ILLEGAL for US residents to open so you can put that one out of your mind.
From what you've stated your purpose of the account is Panama is a good choice. If you are only looking to have off shore banking and not worried about total privacy you can simply open an IBC (international business corporation) with an attached banking solution. If you require total privacy you would have to consider a opening a PIF or Foundation, which you can also get in Panama.
Sadly there are fees and it will vary depending on what company you get to help you. I would highly suggest you use an off shore law firm. There are many companies on the net that will offer to do this work for you, but often they are simply affiliates and just filter you to a law firm and by doing so will jack the costs up.
I am not an employee of this company but have used them in the past to open IBC's and they were very good so do have a look http://www.offshore-protection.com I am sure you will be able to get all your questions answered there.
Hope that helps.
