Protip: Cost of living goes down greatly if you live in a rural area, but there are hardly any jobs there. Unless you like manual labor or McDonalds/Walmart. Thankfully I like manual labor but I care not for anymore retail or fast food. Tried both. Didn't care for it.

Idea is to move to find work, not move to enjoy unemployment in a new area.

EDIT: There's no future in menial manual labour; best thing you can do is join a trade or get on a fishing boat, where you can move up in the world even when you get old and can't lift shit.

Who was this directed at? I mean, I was about to type a literal "fuck you", but realised it would be entirely unwarranted if he weren't speaking to Bridgett.

You’re right, different countries have different living costs, but it’d be nice to work for more than thirteen dollars an hour. Besides, I’ll also treat this as an adventure. Basically, I want to get a working visa whilst having a vacation, because I like having an adventure.

Peculiar points. Indeed, chances are, job opportunities are usually limited to those who are educated and experienced in something, whereas I’m just a loser. Oh yes, there are pockets in Europe where the people will dislike you if you’re not a fellow countryman. Though I am a bit surprised Australia is becoming xenophobic. I honestly can’t imagine anyone being more right wing than me. I will mention that whenever I encounter someone more right wing than me, I tend to think they are crazy.

Oh yes, housing is extremely expensive especially in places like Sydney or Melbourne, but I grew up in poverty. I can handle low expenses. I make my own bread, for example, that’ll help cut costs. But I am aware that there is no romanticization to be believed in any country: life is about working hard, then studying hard, then working hard again. I am used to hard work. Eh, as for moving to Australia, I don’t see myself doing that, I just wanna get a working visa, find some work, and have a little adventure. The only time I would live in Australia would be, for example, I fell in love with a girl and wanted to marry her. I think that you need four years to get an Australian citizenship.

Anyways, thanks for your input, West! It’s definitely valuable. My Texan friend’s mother is also Australian, she might give me a few points of advice, too.

Oh yes, I often live in rural areas. Prince George is the biggest place I’ve ever lived, and it costs like a thousand dollars for monthly rent. Labour is exactly what I’ve been doing for the past seven years, I worked up to fourteen hour shifts, I’m used to it. However, I do plan to eventually get a real occupation through college or something, why not?

Yes, exactly West! Move for work, not for unemployment, excellent point. I’d rather work minimum wage than be on welfare.

Indeed, a trade is important,which I plan to do when I can. I wanted to become a carpenter, approached taking a carpentry course at CNC, but did not have the requirements, and then failed the tests anyways. Ha!

Edit: I made a mistake, minimal wage in Australia is 18.29 per hour, not seventeen dollars.



Ridley was saying that to Ben. Sorry for the indirect comment there, but a “fuck you” would be epic, too XD
