A counsellor for expats who've made the stupid mistake of trying something new and different by moving to Oz.

Alternatively, there'll soon be a position open in the OB in Perth for someone with skills in cutting and pasting. Must be fluent in the language of Bullshit.

Seriously though, I'm also looking for a similar move

I'd steer clear of selling my body for money (wouldnt get much anyhow). Seriously though thinking of moving into website design, anyone know of salary expectations in this field?.:scared:

website designers are two a penny..everyone that wants one has one..

a close friend is a freelance and very good at database building and all that stuff..bearly earns keep (b.f keeps her actually)

an ex school mate is so pushed he builds them for free and hopes for upkeep money..

cheers

Thanks Richard,

Saves time wasting in that field. Anyone know of jobs thet pay well in Oz. I was speaking to a HGV driver in leicestershire recently and reckons that £55K is average for the drivers doing runs to europe.

Dont particularly want to become a lorry driver in oz, but something that will pay a respectable wage but wont take forever to qualify for?.

Hi

Hubby in new car sales, 8 months, he enjoys it. Fellow worker started at the same time, just gone back this last week to truck driving for 800 per week after tax take home (slightly better than when he left mates firm 8 mths ago).

With the information I have you cannot even get a decent paying job truck driving unless you know the people and have an in.

At 55K pounds - get one of those jobs there if you can. I was on 45K in Uk before I left in IT salaried, well less now!

At the same time I will state I am having fun, but do not come here for money! (not PB's sister ok!)

Cheers Sandra
