Default Moving.

So I've been thinkin alot about moving to Australia. There isn't really a big reason of why I want to go other than I just do. However as far as I know I have to have a Job over there BEFORE I am allowed to move along with a passport and a work visa. Does anyone know any more about this? Or have any ideas on jobs or any input what-so-ever? Just thought i would throw this up here and see what happens. Oh and it'd be pretty definite that'd I'd be selling my truck if I do make the move :/

but yeah any comments that are atleast somewhat relevant to the topic are welcome.
thanks
Matt

i would go over there and check it out before you decide to move...the only thing is that just about every animal over there can kill you in like 2 seconds

Okay so i talked to a guy i'm friends with in New Zealand. And he is about to start an online DIY Fashion Label. basically you make your own designs to go one your specific shirt. And he has been working on this for 2 years now and the only thing he has left is to come up with the money for the website. Tonight we spent about 2 hours looking through the visa stuff trying to find the easiest way to get me there to start working for him. and it's kinda complicated. but yeah i know that if i were to move there i'd probably only be going there with about 10grand but that's like 20 grand USD plus i'd walk right into a job and the cost of living is pretty cheap from what my friend says. However i'm still doig my research and I have no definite plans yet.
