    Australians speak plainly Chegitz and like the USA we've successfully absorbed millions of migrants. The population has doubled in my lifetime. If you're too dopey to work out we look after people who come here then probably better not come.

    You have to pay for your passage these days as far as I know unless you have a job lined up and your employer pays (which also helps immensely with getting a visa).

    Its a small price to pay in our opinion. It shows you have the means to make a start here - we don't want people just coming here to go on our generous welfare system.

    There are 4 golden rules for migrants - be law abiding, clean living, work hard and be tolerant. If you do those things you will do well here, no doubt about it.

    If you come here and b*tch and complain, with your hand out and an attitude, forget it. We don't need you and you won't succeed as a migrant - and the harshest critics are other migrants - many of whom came here with nothing. Noone like that succeeds anywhere anyway. Probably very similar to the USA in that respect.

    Australians won't say it to you directly but I what I wrote about is exactly what most Australians think in terms of our expectations of migrants - including the immigration officers who approve migration applications.

        we can always do with a few more - though the Italians pretty much cornered the crop years ago

            "Australian employers being asked to help in the global marketplace -- the last thing we want is some country getting the jump on us."
            Hmmm... Wonder which country that would be.

            Probably Singapore. Can you Aussies provide the opportunity ($$$) that your potential competitors can? Seems like that was one of the subjects that the article didn't deal with directly.

            Probably very similar to the USA in that respect.
            A buddy of mine's sister won a green card lottery spot, came over from her home country (Arab), and thought that she was going to be waited on hand and foot. Very unmotivated. Didn't want to get a job and make her way. Probably thought an Mrs was in her future and she wouldn't have to work (yeh, right ). Eventually, she decided to go back home. Her brother, who had been here for a while, was her harshest critic. It's a real shame that the other 6 million applicants that year for the lottery lost a chance because of her.

            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                Damn this looks intriguing.

                It might be a year too late though for me personally.

                But in terms of IT and engineers, I'm sure there are plenty of Indians and Pakis to go around, right???

                    Not necessarily - a US qualification would be highly regarded.

                      What would an undergrad degree in history and the toughness that comes from being bred in the harsh northeast get me in Australia?

                          Well, it's a start. With one sheep's leg, I can club a kangaroo and go from there.

                            A nice cushy job with the government working on something you are completely unqualified for.

                                Well, that seemed to be the route I was pursuing in America anyway. Australia, hier komme ich.
