"Most painters and paperhangers work 40 hours a week or less"
Da es ein Job für "unskilled worker" ist, ist es so gut wie unmöglich, dafür ein Arbeitsvisum zu bekommen. Zumindest keines zum dauerhaften Einwandern. Du müsstest dich also wirklich selbstständig machen:
"Because there are no strict training requirements for entry, many people with limited skills work as painters or paperhangers for a short time and then move on to other types of work."
"Painting and paperhanging are learned through apprenticeship or informal, on-the-job instruction. Although training authorities recommend completion of an apprenticeship program as the best way to become a painter or paperhanger, most painters learn the trade informally on the job as a helper to an experienced painter."
"Whether a painter learns the trade through a formal apprenticeship or informally as a helper, on-the-job instruction covers similar skill areas."
