    Je voudrais travailler aux États-Unis parce qu'il y a plus de possibilités. Cependant, ça pourrait être trop différent.

    - The first letter of a sentence is always capitalized.

    - I would like to + verb = Je voudrais/J'aimerais + verb in the infinitive

    - "Dans États-Unis" is not correct. to make it gramatically correct, it should be "dans les États-Unis".

    But :

    In the United States = aux États-Unis

    Inside the geographic territory of the United States = dans les États-Unis

    aux = à les (mandatory contraction)

    - États-Unis is a country name so it's capitalized.

    - there is/there are = il y a and not il ya. a is a verb here.

    - Here is a link to understand why I used ça instead of il : http://french.about.com/library/weekly/aa032500.ht...

    - différente is feminine. différent is masculine or neutral.

    - This is not something especially french but I think you should add what working in the US would be different from.
