I will admit that this thread has kept me entertained this fine evening but I would just like to point out that I did give a very straight answer (#7) earlier and was being perfectly serious too. I think if you do have a good idea then its best to keep it to yourself for obvious reasons.
Some people have mentioned on here what they would like to do but you must be careful about this. Did you ever see the 'No Going Back' series when the bloke had his heart set of sea fishing trips failed but his wife then took the reins and started the hair extension business thing. That turned out to be extremely profitable for them. Suppose they had blabbed about that, they could have lost out big time.
I agree you do have to look at whats needed too but this can be limited depending on certain criteria, like age for example. Old dog and new tricks and I am only 3# ! ! !
I also went back and did a degree when I was 30 and its paid off for us but do I fancy doing anything like that again..........not really. It was hard enough being in a class full of nineteen year olds for one thing and I was glad there was some people older than me in there. Made a good friend from going there though and have kept in touch ever since.
Do you know what you are going to do Ben once there?

i keep toying with the idea of doing a degree once we get out there. i was talked out of it at 20 years of age by my parents ("what do you want to got to uni for, you'll be married with children in a few years time" - i've never forgiven them
)
i've done a few courses in the last couple of years, and have been bitten by the further education bug. hubbie says i can carry on when we get out there, but it depends on work. at the mo, it looks more likely that i will get a job very easily, and the hubbiw might have to be a house husband :scared: :scared: (not that i want to - but needs must). will see how things pan out

Re: Anyone have suggestions for a new career
Why not become an ocker Aussie and go the whole hog with your new career.
You could become a professional sponge, drain as much money from centrelink as possible and spend it at the local tavern on the pokies and piss, then on the way home to give the Mrs a black eye you can get a chew and spew for you and your five toothless barefoot kids.
Optional extras include hooning and delivering pizzas as a sideline to your drug dealing.
