I am just wondering what do you think the conditions will be in Oz in the printing trade? I used to work for a few printers and it was sweatshop conditions. I don't particularly want to go back to that again... i want a better quality of life outdoors!! :-)
Im working in-house for a large financial software company but the down side is the work i do is very monotonous and boring so im ready for a change to get a better portfolio for Oz!

I'm not sure what conditions are like but the good thing is that if you don't have to go Pre Press. I'm aiming to get a designers job, although if pre press is all there is then I'll take it.
My job is more design than pre press so I can do both. I'm also learning new media programs like Director so it will be another string to my bow.
This all depends on what happens with the new SIR visa. It looks like you have to have a trade/skill in demand in a regional area so I may well have to go the pre press route depending on it being on the list.
Good luck with the TRA, at least you have youth on your side. If you don't get
an early deeming date at least you can wait a couple of years without losing points.
If only we could turn back the clock.
