We really want to emigrate to austraila, my sister and brother in law emigrated over a year ago and we want to join them.

Sister & brother in law will sponser us when they get their citizenship early next yr. But neither my partner or I have any skills.
Im a sahm and my partner is just a general worker for a big company.
I am thinking of training to be something but what?
What is easy and doesnt take 3 years to complete? any ideas anyone

seriously?
Plaster
Plumber
Electrician

begging for them over here

anything more girly?

My bil has just got in on his chef skills. My sil got in as a nurse. Both of these jobs are on the list.

why ???

sorry, that was my inner feminist having a shock moment there - imagine if a man had been told there was a need for nurses, teachers and administrators and had asked for something more 'manly'!

The official list is here - they want food prep people, hairdressers and dressmakers if they sound more fun than plastering

Building Trades people are beating off work with big poo covered sticks over here and charging an arm and a leg

Food Prep only gets about 20 dollars an hour tops and that's on a weekend

How about carpenters Suzy?

DH is a carpenter and very busy but not able to charge much. Not sure I'd persuade him though or that they'd want too old crocks like us...

bring him on!
I need a chippy to work on my extension (Vicar)

Vicar! You're extending the vicar? Or are you telling me that you are a vicar? Or were you calling me a vicar?

Confused....

I mean it sounds like a line from a Sid James sitcom

chippy
extension
bring him on

geddit?

Does he have any experience of working with jarrah?

Aha. It was a jooooke.... forgive me I'm slow this morning

Is jarrah a timber? No. I don't expect he does. And he would never ever emigrate. Bless him he moved from London to the wouth-west as a child and I think that experience scarred him for life....

Or even the south-west.

seriously OrmIrian - they are desperate for anyone in the building trade - especially here in SE QLD - such a huge amount of development going on - they can't keep up with the work and you are waiting forever to try and get quotes and then work done as they are all tied up.
