@gemini23: mag-asawa ng australiano?? Hehe, just kidding ha. Pinapatawa, pinapagaan ko lang loob mo. I can understand your sentiments. Lahat tayo ganun ang hangarin na makapag-stay permanently. Sis ko rin is going for the student visa sana. Kaso ang mahal ng tuition, mabigat talaga. [-(

it's difficult but not imposible...
sa IT ayaw nyo lumipat? marami na naman company na nagtatrain ng career shifters...
kahit ano pa course nyo, basta mapasa nyo lang exam which non it related exam...
i could refer you to my previous company if you want... dun may mga dating abugado, nurse etc...
tapos gain2-3 yrs experience then, pde ka na mag-apply as an ICT sa AU...
yun ang isa sa option na nakikita ko... opinion ko lang po.
