    with us coming outta the recession like the rest of the world... its a dog eat dog world here for jobs -need skills bro - unemployed stats are high.
    Was reading our local rag this week and shit- even a `lollypop-holder` with roadworks companies needs to have the appropriate certificates nowadays

    thankfully for me i work in it and that's still a skill shortage area, i've been doing my homework, but i do accept i could be working anywhere, which might mean living on the south island, but at least it'll only be a few hours flying from me family and not 27 hours

    Loads of IT work in Auckland.

    It's the NZ Commercial capital.

    Funny place though.

    You need to be careful where you choose to live.

    Where are you from in England?

    Are you a towny or a sheep shagger?
