So I am a 22 year old male native English speaker from New Jersey, USA. This coming May I will graduate from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, with a BA in Economics and a Minor in Political Science. A week after I graduate I will be attending the University of Texas at Austin for a dual four-week program that earns both a CELTA certificate and a TESL/TEFL certificate from the University of Texas.

Although I have no teaching experience and am not capable in any other langue other than English, I'd like to think I have a nice resume built up. I have interned at two financial firms and for my congressman, I also have worked at a very large hospital, and most recently as an executive assistant at a local company.

My question is, as an American with my background, how difficult will it be securing a job in Western Europe (They prefer EU applicants over Americans)? I'd rather not do anything in Asia, but Eastern Europe is a fine alternative. Also, what would be my best route after gaining my certificates? Are there specific places I should look at for entry-level applicants? Mommy & Daddy will not be feeding me money for this, so whatever job I secure, I will need it to cover all my living expenses. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help guys!
