Caltrops - Still Life





	[quote name="Quétinbec"][quote name="Official NZ immigration site"][quote name="Quï¿½tinbec"] Here's what I suggest: Spend the next two weeks ONLY playing video games just like you thought you wanted to and then, when you start to feel like shit, travel somewhere cheap for four months. Indonesia will do. From Jakarta, apply for a one year NZ working VISA. People up to the age of 36 qualify for one year no-questions-asked NZ working VISAs. In the UK, youï¿½ve gotta be younger than 28 and I think the Aussy cutoff is 30. NZï¿½s got your back, though Grandpa. Your currency will go a long way there. You can buy a two bedroom house in the South of the South Island for $NZ60,000 which is about $US50k (or a handsome little farmlet for $200k). It's very pretty and there's a 1% unemployment rate down there. You can make $US40k/y only working mornings milking cows. Spend your afternoons writing or sewing or some shit, and then snowboard on the weekends. It would be a great way to spend a year. I was two days away from that lifestyle when I was offered my current job, which, HOLY FUCK, is so awesome and respectable and hilarious. [/quote] [quote name="raelface"] his advice turned out to be bad, or at least it is contradicted by the official NZ immigration site which places the cutoff for workabroad program at 30. I got really excited when he said it was 36... [/quote][/quote] I wasn't talking about the 'Workabroad' program, friend. I was talking about the 'Work New Zealand' program. Its cutoff is 35 though not 36 so I was a bit wrong. [quote]<a href=http://www.bunac.org/usa/worknewzealand/>Work New Zealand</a> is authorized by the New Zealand Government to allow young Americans aged 18-35 to travel and work in New Zealand for up to 12 months. [/quote] And why are you excited to work in NZ? Fussbett's only going there because he's too old to work anywhere else. Have you also some bad decisions in life?[/quote]
