What would you do?
Heres the deal, currently I would choose a job at Mcdonalds then what I have now. I do have a couple choices so tell me what you think.
1. I have a cdl and a place that would hire me part time. Im not concerned about the part time deal because it pays twice as much as what I make now and it gives me more time to do my sideline thing. The bad is that its not my kind of job and its kinda dangerous.
2. I have relatives in Australia which makes it easy to get a job there. There is a lot of mining and farming there and jobs are easier to get over there. Their economy is doing better than ours and its less BS getting a decent job. From what I was told if you can do the job right its yours, no silly schooling required to work at a jiffy lube. The bad is that if I go this route its expensive upfront and I have to sell all my toys (except the 1st gen, it comes) so if it goes bad I may as well stay there and tough it out, but there are plenty of hot girls running around.
3. Stay where im at and have a heart attack or stroke due to the stupidity and stress of a poorly run state department.
I'm just looking for some opinions but im leaning towards the second one.

Thats good to know Whit. Wages over there seem to be more realistic. Currently I'm earning $11.80/hr doing preventive maintenance on school buses and all of our district vehicles. Not bad pay but its me against 150+ vehicles doing everything but major repairs and its not really worth what im getting paid most of the time with all the hassle. The same job over there pays 35k+ and our currency is almost 1 to 1 on most days. I could earn that if I moved down south but I don't like the crime and its too close to the border. I also considered taking my truck because a 28ft shipping container costs $1650 if under 10k lbs and I don't have much stuff to take. I'm almost positive it would be the only one of its kind down there, even though it wouldn't be road legal.

Yeah, you ever seen those trucks pulling triples with giant kangaroo catchers on them?
There's more iron on the front of those trucks than what's in the frame.
