Hi All, I am a Civil/Structural Engineer moving back to Oz from Houston. I am planning to do this in June in preparation for school. I have a few questions for you guys. 1. How is the job market there currently? Will I be able to get a job within a reasonable time when I finally move back? 2. Hopefully, I will be going to grad school in August. I have already been accepted at the Victoria University. Still waiting for University of Melbourne (my preference) if they will accept me or not. Having said this, what are the suburbs that are safe and close to these two universities (and at the same time close to public transportation since I will not have a car right away)for a single lady to live in. Also, I am a runner and a cyclist. I would also love it if I would be able to find a place where I can ride my bike or run from home to the cycling/running trails. Is it also possible to ride a bicycle or a vespa from the suburbs to the CBD? I lived in Perth for a while and almost all of the nearby suburbs are accessible by bicycle and the trails are awesome. Quite a number of people ride to work there. Thanks y'all and I appreciate your taking the time to read this.
