finally had enough!!

[allsparkjonny]

Been thinking about it for a while but today ive decided its finally time to leave this sinking ship we call england.applied for and been granted a working holiday visa for australia which lasts a year but can be extended another 24 months if wanted.
Always wanted to travel the world which is one of the reasons i wanted to be a sparky and with work as it is at moment ive decided its my time.Going to save up as much as poss before i go and go to ibiza with my friends for couple of weeks.No more mortgage worries as i can charge more in rent than what the mortgage is.Its a win win situation!!

I wish I was still young enough to get one of them working visas, the only ones I can get now is a holiday and a permanent visa for Oz. Just ain't got the money for the permanent one (and I've looked)....

Good luck mate, I am a very jealous man!

hi there good luck and hope it gose well for you
But not to put a dampers on your new life ,but my uncle lives in melbourne and work has a air conditioning engineerer and has done for 30 years ,but only talking to him a couple for week ago he was having to work away and when i mean away a three hour fight away ,the jobs are hard over there ,i was granted a work permit a couple of years ago, and his advice was to do what you are going to do ,Do a working hoilday first because it is a total different way of life .
But anyway all the best and have a good one

If you get work over there as a Sparky, put some posts and info on about getting the Grade A licence.

A good place to get some advice about the A licence, tests, visas etc is to google brit expats and Poms in oz and search for electrician
