The 3 year Plan

The 3 year Plan
Any thoughts or tips would be great,
Electrical Building services engineer due for redundancy within the next 12-18 months, would love to try the Gold Coast for 3 years using the dundy money and keeping the house on here ( If it's that good in Oz after 3 years then we can decide if a permanent move is for us ).
I have read through all the Electrical mechanic / Fitter posts and to be honest it has spooked me a bit thinking of doing exams and studying to get a license but if needs must then so be it.
I do have experience of substations / High voltage switching / HVAC / Fire and Building management controls, could say jack of all trades master of none!
My questions are :
1. Since its only a 3 year plan (at the moment) would the 457 visa be best for us?
2. With the 457 is it just a case of applying to companies for a job that suits, then going through the relevant TRA exams?
3. Can I apply for any other type of visa when all I want initially is 3 years.
4. I realize that with a sponsored 457 I'm held by the employer, with another type of visa would I be able to do any type of work when I get over (quite fancy something new)
5. Will Celtic beat Man U in the champions league?
Thanks in advance, great site and great info.

3 year plan sounds good, keep the house if you can afford it. But try it out down south. Its a bit more hassle having to keep track of the house on the other side of the world but it is good security.
Hope it works out for you.

Re: The 3 year Plan
Thanks for the quick response, would I be able to get the Skilled Migrant Visa if i'm being truthfully and stating that it's only for 3 years?
In fact i'll go and look it up!
nice prediction Laura
