Why is your dream dead?
I have seen several posters mention this recently and it made me think. Why is your dream dead? If its a visa issue, could there be another way?
For example, i went back to Uni in my 30's and i would have to say that part of my reasoning and certainly a fair bit of my motivation on long nights in front of the books was the thought of comming to Australia. So maybe for those that think they cant get the visa, try a change of career.

Australia was the easiest country for the past 5 years for migration. Now that the economy has tightened up some people have missed the boat. It's much harder than it was to migrate here compared to 5 years ago.

Dreams are a waste of energy, stick to just experiencing reality then you can't get let down.

"Every problem is an opportunity in disguise"
There's always a solution.
I've been trying to get a visa for the last 8 years but always come short for qualifying and then they change everything!
I wanted to run our existing business in Oz, we can work anywhere in the world so we're unlikely to lose any/many clients... I hadn't realised that the business that sponsors employees to move to Oz to work can actually be overseas businesses - so I'm hoping the company I own will be able to sponsor me to start the Aus branch - I cant see any reason why we won't be able to do it, and we just need to make sure we employ staff there and help the economy which shouldn't be hard with the UK business already going strong...
It's just a case of form filling now and seeing how we get on...
if you have a dream then you have to ask yourself why it's your dream, and if the answer is a good one then go for it and don't give up... there's always a way.
