Oh friend freenrg
you live in there and Which is your nearest Google office and you don't want to get job in that or you have got already fantastic job?

Bye bye
Arjun pun

My job is not fantastic. It is OK. I work for a company that manufacturers consumer electronics and I am in charge of sales in UK and other countries in Europe.

What I really want to do now is to create my own business. I already had my own trading business in the past, but this time it will be an online business and my intention is to work less hours and be able to spend more time on other important things, while doing a business that I like.

Why not Google?
Google is for you. You have the burning desire to work at Google. Go for it. I like google, but working at google is not something I have even considered. Now that you asked me, I imagine there must be thousands of people trying to get into Google and many of them right out of college or graduate school. If you have the chance, try to go to college/university, get the best grades, graduate at the top your class, while in college get involved in some projects that are related to google. If you graduate at the top of your class, apply for admission into a computer science PhD program in the US. If you get accepted into a PhD program in the USA, the university will pay your tuition and a teaching assistant stipend you can live on comfortably.

Ideally, you could apply to PhD programs in cities where Google has development centers, maybe googleplex in Santa Clara http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Googleplex. For example, Stanford University is very close. If you are a grad student in the Stanford Computer Science PhD program I bet you it is not difficult to do some project at Googleplex and later get a real job there.

I did get admitted into a PhD program in the USA, so if you need guidance let me know.

If you do not get into Stanford right away you can get into another PhD program and apply again to Stanford once you are in the US. I was first admitted into U of Maryland and later on to Berkeley. By the way, Berkeley is also in the bay area, so not too far from googleplex.

UPDATE Google started at Stanford
