All i was asking was if there is anyone who could advise on the need for tilers in Oz,and the wage,for when i'm experienced enough and up to speed.If there isn't much call or earnings aren't too hot,then i'd look at something else like carpetfitting.

Im currently applying to emigrate, and i work as a carpet fitter, Ive had figures mentioned to me of $8000- $12,000 per month which is a lot
but beware carpet fitting is an though physical job, which involves a lot of hours of hard graft, but the rewards are sometimes fantasic, You have got to plan for the "what ifs " though, what if : you do you back in, you develop water on the knee, tendonitis in your wrists and elbows etc, etc.
Realistically fitting past 55 years of age is an unlikely option so be careful with any money you make! Its a scary thought for me that at the age of 27, if im lucky i could contiue floor laying for 20 years, but what do i do affter that??
Just make sure you dont shed out a shed load of hard earned, to then have a relitavley short time at it.
