    Emigration

    Seeing as this seems to be the most sensible option the way things are going, I've been thinking.

    I could walk into well paying jobs in Germany and Switzerland, but don't like the weather and need to learn German.

    US is another possibility as my skills would probably allow me to be sponsored by a co. But I think the US has long term issues of its own.

    Malaysia, Singapore appeal quite a bit. Going to check this out in the summer as part of holidays.

    But I would guess Australia (where again, my skills would be in demand) is beginning to look like the best compromise: weather, the Asia effect, English speaking. Only problem is its full of ozzies.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Well that is progress at least!

      Not the only problem. It is also still too fooking close!!
      And they are probably already well-served with Till Operators!

          Would be good for DA, Robby and a few others - I hear it has small government and is very free market.

              They really need hair-dressers apparently. Maybe you could get an apprenticeship, learn the trade and go?

                I spent 3 weeks in Aus a few years ago to try and get feel for whether or not I wanted to do this. Conclusion I came to was I do, but not just yet. For me, going to Aus for career aspirations is not the route to go. Rather, it is a place to go to enjoy the fruits of your labour in a relaxed chilled out place and enjoy the sunshine. One day when I am big and strong, I'll look into this again.

                    What, and risk working with you?
                    Never!!
