If your in Oz you can have a dead-end job and get drunk six days a week without considering yourself a waster because your ABROAD! Ideal for some.

PizzamanIRL · 18-01-2013 01:33AM

Why are they eejits for going to Australia to earn a living?

Fair play to them I say.

The amount of eejits heading over is definitely on the increase so the OP is right in a sense.

And the scumbags, they've also discovered the WHV now.

Nah they're still here procreating

I personally think there are pro's and con's by moving to australia, canada etc:

Pros:
- get a job. make some money.
- see the world.
- experience life.

Cons:
- you have to come home after 1 or 2 years. Its not a long term solution to finding work.

But added pro:
what would you of been doing in those 1 to 2 years anyways?

So if people want to go to australia or canada then so be it I dont think its for me. But hey, thats me.

I'd actually love to emigrate for a few years and then come back.

Given that I know quite of a few of these "eejits" who are making there way to Australia, I must say... I agree with you — partially.

One of them, who is a very good friend of mine, was actually working a well paid job as a chef at a very famous restaurant owned and managed by a popular celebrity chef, who had his rented accommodation for work organised and paid for by the management, this being his career of choice which he pursued since he left secondary school. Now it's not exactly like he didn't have a choice is it?

The rest of them fall into one of two categories;
1. Lazy fucks who could but wouldn't work while they where here who just wanted to go to Australia because they wanted to for the craic.
2. Lads who had work here or could work here, but decided to leave because most of their mates were out in Australia.

Now I can understand why they went, and that's fair enough depending on what they want to do, but it's not like these boys had to go, far from it actually, and to be fair most of them would probably be the first to admit that.
There probably are people who went off to Australia because they really had to, it's just that I haven't met them yet.

I agree not everyone is lucky but if you're young it's an experience and you never know what might come of it.

Two brothers I know went over, one was picking cotton and the other landed a job driving some machinery, he had experience behind him from working on the farms here....earning a great income and on his second year now.The brother is home.

Nah Australia sounds like a **** hole.
I'd go to Siberia

Thrill · 18-01-2013 01:49AM

Ejit has become our biggest export. Once they're all gone then Ireland will only be populated by us geniuses that stayed behind.

With only non-ejits left, we'll soon sort out the debt disaster the ejits caused.

Boombastic · 18-01-2013 01:49AM

It's amazing how many people go to travel around and have never ventured as far as Nimbin or any other places apart from the usual cities. I got the frick out of bally bondi after 3 days.

BillyMitchel · 18-01-2013 01:58AM

Done it around 2000 or so for an adventure. Good craic but no way would I do it again. It's good out there but don't think it's as good as everyone says. Have lived in much better countries.

To the poster about all the scummers going over. It's true, I'm know of some serious clowns who have gone and came back or others that have stayed there. No idea how they got visas though.

Essien · 18-01-2013 02:04AM

I think the OP is right, now while he might not be referring to the same type as me, there are an alarming number of Irish ejits out here. The majority of Irish I've met out here fall into the one category of greedy, selfish, spoiled ***** who don't appreciate the opportunity they have.

The amount I've times I hear people whinge about how little they earn despite some of them taking home up to 1.5 - 2k a week is sickening. I'm not bothered meeting new Irish people when I out anymore because it's the same thing over and over again...What do you do? What's the money like? Ah sure Ireland's ****ed.

daRobot · 18-01-2013 02:07AM

There were plenty of tools there in 2003, so i'd imagine it's way, way worse now.

If they ventured as far as Nimbin they probably wouldn't be able to move for weeks if they brought a little bageen of something home with them.

I wouldn't mind visiting Sydney and a few other places like Alice Springs and I might do yet but it would only be because it's on my list of places to visit for the last 20 odd years .I wouldn't give a **** if it was populated by young GAA , shirt wearing Irish people either .

Advice: Avoid Alice Springs, it's a sh1thole

You, and probably most of us grew up when emigration was not the norm during the Celtic Tiger years.

Most people whether eijits or not should be commended on looking for work if the only other option is the dole.

I'd be more annoyed at the lazy fcuks drawing the dole knowing that there are plenty of jobs in Oz.

We, Irish people have so many options compared to most of the people on this planet. We can practically go anywhere and get some sort of work from teaching English to labouring to office jobs…So many options for us.

If you are trained in construction and work on getting into the mines in Australia, $40 an hour an upwards (or 32 eur an hour) is pretty normal. That is if you work at it and have the skills.

On the other hand, you could just:
· hop on the aul laptop and complain about people that are doing it
· stay at home with the folks rent free
· Make excuses how you’d get homesick if you did travel anywhere
· Head out on the weekend in the local and blow a % of the dole money and save the rest for the 2 week holiday in Santa Ponsa in June
· And finally reach your mid 30s having gone nowhere, done nothing, trained in nothing but in the art of conversation on how your entitlements are going down too much

Yep, what a bunch of fcukers those pr!cks are heading off to Oz..Who the fcuk do they think they are!!!???

mandrake04 · 18-01-2013 03:05AM

The majority of them will be coming back when the holiday visa runs out.

It seems to me that every "ejit" left in Ireland is giving out about people going to Australia. Id guess there's far more begrudging moany lazy "ejits" left there giving out about abandoners etc than there is over here. Of course there's the usual idiots, but there's far more who are working hard to earn money to be able to build a life at home, or to build a life here.

Ps. It's currently 43 degrees.

Full.Duck · 18-01-2013 03:09AM

I came out here to make a new life for myself. I left Ireland with little or no prospects, my job was going to go under and i had no experience from my degree to be even considered for a job in an area i would like. I came here and worked my arse off. Still am. I dont make that much money at the moment but its a long term goal not just a year piss up. Ive made some fabulous friends. English, scots, german, french, canadian, sri lankan, south african and australian. As you can see there is no irish on that list. Im slowly but surely building a new life for myself. Its going slow but im putting in the graft. Because of that my girlfriend now has a new visa, i have gotten sponsored and ive applied for a skilled migrant visa. Hell of a lot easier to do while you are here. The area i live in is absolutely beautiful. The weather is stunning and i have a social life that does not consist of going on the piss every weekend. I love it.

Now if you think i am an ejit you can just go fcuk yourself.

Most start off with a holiday visa and eventually get sponsorship to work there for an extra few years. If you have skills it's the place to be.
