I’ve thought about selling my house and everything I own and skipping off to the other side of the world too, haha. But I’m 33 and want to move to Australia and work as an electrician in the mines. It’s 2 weeks on, 1 week off, they fly you in and out of the mines (FIFO), set you up with a free dorm, cafeteria, gym. We have a friend in Melbourne so we’d probably live there. The week off regularly sounds great if I wanted to hop around SE Asia and check out Vietnam for a week or something.

We currently live in Pittsburgh. I have a lot of experience in industrial electrical work and am fine with hard work and long 12 hour days over and over. But my future husband just works crappy food service jobs. He’s been working in a commercial kitchen, basically just like a tiny factory for grab and go food for small businesses around town. Idk how feasible it is for someone like him to immigrate to Australia without any kind of marketable skills or whatever they look at. He dropped out of high school when he was a teenager.
