hi jim,
have you looked at the business route? if you have a fair bit of capital to invest, you could perhaps consider that route? rog williams put up a post yesterday offering a business for sale
you could always retrain as a nurse

Ok, well I've had deep discussions with the missus and she aint too happy bout the 'marry an Aussie' route ...lol
I'm still looking into the Mechanic, but another member on here has ALWAYS said to me to look for something which didn't need those blasted TRA to get thru, and am now thinking very hard about this:
http://study.une.edu.au/course.php3?id=60&p=
![](http://usera.imagecave.com/pauldw/crackup.gif)
but seriously, I WILL turn my hand to anything, give anything a shot!
IF, and 'if' being the most popular word in the Jim2004 vocabulary of recent, I did and qualified, I can nominate several occupations inc Accountant at 60 points, + on the MODL, but we all know MODL is simply a bonus if it's there when you actually apply, so won't be counting on it.
Still tons of thinking / researching / questioning / can I do it? thoughts / and all the rest going round in my head as I type this, and I must admit I do wonder am I STILL
![](http://usera.imagecave.com/pauldw/banghead.gif)

For fear of sounding like I am repeating myself, I'm back with my towel and literally about to throw it for the final time.
Case closed, we tried!
Basically I'm awaiting a few replies from colleges in Oz to see if this work experience to satisfy the TRA (re Mechanic route) WILL be as hard as most ppl seem to think, hence killing off that possibility, and the idea of doing a Degree, well I think i'm being plain stupid there!
Ok, if you get the qualification, as we speak it 'auto qualifies' you in the satisfying the relevant assessing dept, but I just don't have a clue really with this Degree and am back to 'Clutching at Straws' really.
My partner asked me earlier a serious question, "do you think it's time to throw in the towel?"
I fear the answer is probably yes![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
Getting into Oz as we all know is very hard, but getting there via study is as near as impossible, well for me anyway!
I WILL throw a few final words on this post once I am 100%, but I'm pretty sure now it WAS always just a dream, nothing more!

Have you condisered the "setting up a business" route?
With the money from your house sale you may have enough?
If not, it has been a pleasure knowing you & you MUST keep in touch with us......... once we get to Australia our spare room will always be there fo you guys...... that may be the only way we have to get that BBQ! LOL
Love,
Claire, Steve & Jonah

I'm starting to feel embarrassed now coming back to this post as I seem to be in a different situation, and certainly mood too each time
I seem to get to the point where I think it's all over, THEN find there is another way or something I thought isn't actually so, and can go on with it all for now
Soooooo, current state of play is I've spoke to my friend who is doing the Degree in Oz and he said not to give in on that one without at least giving it a bit more thought, effort, research etc. What it takes to pass Degree's is persistence and all that, NOT intelligence, so there is hope! ...lol. Ok, I could find that NO qualifications will stop me, but again I've heard you can get into these courses without. I should hopefully hear from a Uni or two soon and will know then.
It's quite hard at home at the mo as my partner is going thru a rough patch, and with me up and down all the time (ooo err!! ...lol) there's points where we're both just so negative it's getting quite easy to think about giving in.
I've woke today to some reassuring emails from the friend and have done a little research about Accounting and the Assessing board and stuff, so am picking up little bits of info here and there, which in turn is making it a 'little' more understandable![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Sooooooo altho I feel real stupid keep coming to Expat and posting that it's all over, and then the next, oh no, it's back on! ...lol, I think there is a few ppl that have pm'd me wishing me luck and have said to keep them informed, so will continue to post

Hopefully tho it may one day be a possibility instead of a dream, albeit a 2 - 300 mile journey from one to the other (if we go to the Uni in NSW), but deffo better than from here to Aus
