¡A ver ________ encuentras un buen trabajo! Let's see when you find a good job! I fear this one could rumble on for ever. One interpretatyion in Englis could be: " I'll see about that the day you get a decent job. A statement and no implicit question.(HINT: ¿Cuándo or cuando?)

Hola Ian
I can see why you interpret this in a different way. The sentence in English is slightly different:
What we have in the quiz is:
Let's see when you find a good job!
Let's see "at what moment in time" you find a good job! (=cuándo)
But if you say:
I'll see about that when you find a new job!
For this we would say in Spanish:
Ya lo veremos cuando/[en el momento en que] encuentres un trabajo nuevo! (=cuando)

I had the same issue with this one. I interpreted it the second way, which seems more natural in English.
