Don't know if any of y'all will know the answer to this but I was wondering if I'm allowed to work in the UK...
I'm here from the States on an exchange for the year and after my Christmas trip (I'm going on a tour of Europe for my break) I'm pretty much going to be broke... oops.... oh well, it will be worth it!
But do I have to get a special work permit or since I have a visa to be here for a year am I ok?

But when I was in the UK I got different types of stamp-y things in my passport. The first said I had leave to remain in the UK for a period of 3 months and not work.
The second gave a date that my residency expired and said that I was allowed to work while the last just said I had leave to remain in the UK for an indefinite period. So, yeah. They normally make it pretty clear if they don't want you to work (I really could have answered with just that, couldn't I?)
But, if you still have any doubts, look at
