I can say that nursing is apparently a not-good profession in Victoria, where there is a nursing shortage which isn't likely to be filled. There have been numerous disputes about wages and hours, which nurses claim to be completely unacceptable (hours mainly due to the lack of nurses). I have no idea about any of the other states of Australia however.
As for lawyering---I don't think there's a shortage, no. At least none that anyone has complained about. There are plenty of young, struggling lawyers out there (lower upper class? ). However, as Canada is part of the Commonwealth I assume it's law system is based upon that of the Brits'. If so then I suppose being a barrister or solicitor here shouldn't be so different as it might be in another case of moving countries. It might be easier than trying to do lawyering in the USA for instance.
Keep in mind that this is all very vague and is coming from the addled, half asleep mind, so whatever I say here is iffy.

There are nursing shortages everywhere in Australia. The upshot is you can get a job quite easily.

Well Mrs Flubber is the nurse. I'm the lawyer and yes the legal systems are similar since for many years, the final court of appeal for Canada and Aus. was in Britain.
I am a solicitor working in the oil industry so maybe a better plan for me is to get a few more years experience and then look for a transfer into some overseas operations

Hi Ann

no, quarantine is extremely strict and important because we don't have a lot of common diseases like foot and mouth etc.

Mrs Flubber won't do it for 35K either. Nurses in Alberta with experience typically make along the lines of 70K Canadian ( so 57K US).

Its a tough job but thankfully in her unit ( an intensive care unit) they have some personal care attendents that take care of some of the bathing and cleaning

However, my wife would get 130 points because her profession is in demand and she is a bit younger (thus, I would get in too). I see there is a nice 2BR 2BA 1Car place in the Surrey Hill neighborhood of Sydney, but I doubt I could convince my wife to move. Does the area have good schools?
