I work as a designer/illustrator and the missus looks after the two little fella's but used to work in interior design.
I hope to do the same kind of stuff in Australia but self employed.
Designing for Mambo is a dream of mine.

Would like to get into Crime Busting on a part time basis. Maybe two days a week to start. Preferably with a speed boat with machine guns and rockets and shite on it.
Mmmmmm. :rolleyes:

Scotty.

Currently working as strategy analyst for PAG Automotive in UK. Have stuck with this role as the work is fine & interesting - esp if can get hold of some of the cars & allowed to do a couple of spins around the local McDonalds!

Previous was qualified as IT Project Manager from Uni & work experience. Worked in Sydney in a software house which sold servers & solid state drivers.

Not sure what Id go back as, take it as it comes, would like to end up lecturing at University, think its something that interests me & seems like a decent career in the future. Not sure about how to do it though.

Even looked into Police force in NSW so am totally open to a new change or simliar if needs be!

Sam does telesales for the local newspaper but is planning to be a lady of leisure. I am an accountant, although I do systems implementations etc most of the time. I would like to do something else but being practical, it is my best chance of getting a decent job from the off at least. But with Sam taking care of the housework during the week I am just looking forward to having the weekends to ourselves.

I'm a sports massage therapist for both horses and humans. Until last year I was running livery stables, teaching and competing as well. I'm hoping to carry on with the massage therapy (and competing), preferably my own business but would consider getting a job in a sports clinic to start with.

Hubbys a landscaper (mainly does the construction side of things) but is considering a change when we get to Perth.

I'm a software engineer at Vodafone, testing some billing software right now. I'm hoping to move back into consultancy and work on software implementation and integration.

My job title is Planning and Procurement Analayst, however it basically means I buy products and arrange the timely arrival of them into our facility.

I have only had this job 18 months and it is sooooo stressfull, would love a change and maybe soon I will have one... ;)

Hi, I'm a hairdresser and plan on doing the same in Oz atleast to start with.
Hubby is a caretaker but plans on having a business that is a secret at the mo, if that goes to pot he is a jack of all trades and will do anything (within reason) to get money coming in.

Worked at TV3 (now ViaSat/Encoda), then 3 yrs at Sci-Fi Channel (Soho), then 5 yrs at UPC in Maidstone, now at Inmedia (Chalfont) for 2 yrs or so, until next week for my last 4 shifts. You`ve just taken our client ESPN from us (they leave in June). We use Phantasia broadcast system mostly here but just bought Omnibus a while ago, which you also have at the Beeb. I`m mostly a Drake/Encoda man though (like they use at Sky). Gremlins are normal in any new TX build, though I must admit I`m not a huge fan of Omnibus..... Drake is much better. Mtv in Camden use Omnibus in some of the channels they send out (like the Saudi movie channels).

Would have liked to have worked at the Beeb just for the CV, but the tx-op pay isn`t great there, and the shift pattern sucked too, so didn`t go for it.

Quite scared as to what I can do in Aus really.
