Working in the U,S and A!

Hi guys!
First of all: pardon my english, it's not very good, I'm from Norway...

I am an aircraft mechanic currently working line maintenance in
commercial aviation (working in norway that is).
I have a Part-66 B1 AML, currently without type rating.
I've been considering for a while to move oversea, to USA, to earn myself some experience of american lifestyle and aviation. Maybe settle down...

And in that occation, i have some questions..
- How is it like to work in the aircraft maintenance industry in USA?
- How is the salary & benefits?
- Since I am a holder of a Part-66 B1 AML, how long will it take to
convert in to an A&P licence, and how much will it cost?
- And something I've always have wondered about: what's the difference between an Technician and a Engineer?

I'm sorry to bother you guys with all these questions, buth I'll be very gratefull for every answer i can get!
