Default who's doin what when they get there?

just out of curiosity, Id like to find out who is doing what job and where when they get to oz

for example are you gonna carry on in your current trade , do something entirely different ,retire , set up a business etc etc, you know what I mean

how many of you need a complete new challenge to live the dream

me , hopefully something different but I,m not sure what yet, I am a fitter but part of the move for me is to do something that i'd really enjoy, maybe running a bussiness or property investment, but certainly not fixing machines... but if I have to I will

A complete change for us, my hubby is in IT (I used to be but have my own wedding stationery business which I'll continue over there) but we're going to go into farming, haven't exactly decided whether it's the sheep or Lucerne (hay), both of which will be a massive change, but we want to live in the middle of knowhere. Luckily we have friends who have been farming in both for 40 odd years, so we have a wealth of experience to help us in our decision. Can't wait

I'm carrying on with what I do. I work in the water industry, and love it. My husband is hoping that I can earn enough that he doesn't have to work, so he can set up his own business. An amazing challenge, but one that I'm really looking forward to.

Am in IT at the moment but wouldnt mind doing something else...dont really know what yet though...possibly a secret agent (am concerned though of getting shot but weigh this up against the bevvie of babes) or astronaut (not sure I would enjoy the commuting)....havent decided.

In all honesty will probably do IT job till I get on my feet then have a look around.

Have entirely changed my direction. In the UK was the CEO for our own businesses (civil enforcement) which we sold in a management buy out and now re-skilling in Sports Massage Therapy and complimentary therapies.

Its about as radical a change as I could make I think

To bring in the money, I've got a job in IT in Sydney doing much the same I did in the UK (although possibility of branching out into management)

Heart is steering towards alternative careers (and I have a few in mind although reality says that I need to keep my feet on the ground)

As for the dream, this IS the dream. I don't care what I do in the first instance, my goal is taking my family to Aus to live. Thats it. Anything more is a bonus and if I want to change direction, then if it feels right I'll do it.
