of course since it's in the eu though I'm not sure about university but i myself lived in amsterdam and my dad with a british passport worked there for several years.
2 :
Being a European Union citizen he can live, study, and work in Gemany without the need to get permits. He just needs to comply with the law applying to German citizens. http://ec.europa.eu/eures/main.jsp?catId=8105&acro=living&lang=en&parentId=7745&countryId=DE&living= Based on your additional question: He will need to get registered at his place of residence (same as in Belgium), and he will need to obtain a Social Security Card (Sozialversicherungsausweis) and a Tax Identification Number (TIN) before he can start working in Germany..

Yes. Both countries are members of the EU so a Belgian has the absolute right to live, work and study in Germany. He will need to register with local authorities in Germany once he is working - that's German law - but his Belgian passport is all he needs.

I want to move to Berlin, Germany... where should I look for work

I want to move to Berlin, Germany... where should I look for work?
I'm a single mother trying to find work in Germany, I am a native German. I don't want to work for a private corporation because I've heard that they fire ppl a lot, and as i said I'm a single mother who sometimes needs to take off work. So do you know the names of some government corporations? I would be good as some sort of Secretary. I don't have a college degree, I'm in my late 30's.

I would suggest, especially for your situation where you need flexibility, that you sign on with Manpower in Berlin. Manpower has a huge presence in Germany. You could get work right away.
2 :
Well, you mention you don't have a college degree and that you "would be good" as a secretary. Do you have some sort of apprenticeship? Have you ever worked in Germany? I gather, since you say you are a native German, that you speak both English and German fluently, which should give you an advantage. As for looking for jobs: Try monster.de, jobsector,... even do consider job share companies. State institutions are not better than private corporations nowadays. Most people on "lower" levels (secretaries, people just starting their carreer there, or people left over after thelatests round of "verbeamtung") are just employees like the rest of us, with just the same level of job security. Of course, there is always the "Arbeitsamt" or the "Agentur für Arbeit", as it is called now. Needless to say, right now it is very difficult to find a job. Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, the usual suspects to find jobs, are also the places most people turn to right now. Anyway, good luck!
3 :
Have a look at website Kijiji/Berlin.de they advertise tons of jobs. I think it is best to visit Berlin a few times and decide on a place to live and then apply at the local Arbeitsampt. You are a native German, so you should have no problems!
4 :
In the link below you will find a number of jobs in public service in Berlin.There are two or three jobs for secretaries, but they require you at least to have finished an apprenticeship for Buerokauffrau etc.
5 :
If you ever umemployed, take a look here www.2bcu.info/jobonline and theres a high chance you'll find the right job.

3 :
Yes it would it would just cost more to call and text people. Might charge to receive calls too.
4 :
If you have AT&T or T-Mobile it will work, but you won't have 3G. If you have Sprint or Verizon it won't work at all.

I want to move to and work in Germany, but what about a VISA

I want to move to and work in Germany, but what about a VISA?
Can I apply for a VISA before I get a job, or must I secure a job first? I feel like most places will be reluctant to hire me if they know I don't currently hold a VISA.

most countries demand they you secure a job before going there to work. it is against the law in the majority of countries to perform without a work visa,you must have the job offer before trying to enter.
