    I just need some advice on this from fellow boards users as I can't just discus it with anyone close to me at the moment.

    For the past two years I've been working on a personal project which I started when I was employed. My employment unfortunately didn't last and I was let go because of a lack of work, this was March last year. I've since worked a few months here and there but nothing at all this year. I still stubbornly continued on with my project because I was adamant I was going to finish it before emigrating.

    Lately I've come to the point where the end of my project is in sight but to do it properly I really need more cash to finish it. I've had a few interviews here and there but none successfully. I find myself at home bored with little to do, wasting time I guess, and i have been thinking about going to Oz. I'll be 30 next year which means I should probably decide and hurry up about Australia before I regret not going, which is something I really don't want to have 2yrs from now.

    Just this week I've got talking to a few people and there's a possibility of work for 6-9 months starting Jan. It's not quite the industry I want to be in but closely related to it. I've not had interviews or anything but things have bneen set in motion.

    My thinking is, sure I could stay here, work for these guys and finish the project before the summer and then think about emigrating. Or do I just decide not to waste anyone time and give someone else the opportunity to take up this position and go away in the new year. Earn a few quid, life some sort of life and not regret it before coming back home with a few quid in my pockets.

    Apply for your Aussie WHV. I think you have a year to activate it once you get it. At least you have it to use then

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I think I read somewhere the price of them is going up also, must do it before the year is out.
