I have a few questions that I'm curious about if I were to get a job offer.... sorry in advance?

1. Transportation -Is there transportation available til you are able to get your license in the new country? Is it more common to ship your car or get one there? How does car insurance work? If you ship your car, do they have car repair places if it should break?

2. Salary- Do you keep a bank account in the states? Open one there? How do you go about doing the exchange to the new currency?

3. Do the children of dodea employees qualify for college grants?

4. Do they help you to secure housing? Is it on base or off base? Furnished or unfurnished?
