lowfreq Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Good Luck Hopefully it turns out to be what you need. Been thinking of a career change myself, whether I make the move or not, the battle rages on.

DONUT Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Very similar to what I did around 4 years ago. When i think about it I have to laugh because I don't regret a thing about it. I'm making a bit less money these days,but I'm somewhat sane.....somewhat. Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getz out Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Best of luck in future endeavours. Glad to hear you're happy. Does Australia have national health-care? Part of what keeps people in the U.S. tied to their day gigs are their benefits (health-care, retirement plans, life-insurance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie bass dude Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 We are very lucky, we have Medicare (Public Health) which is availible for everyone working or not. In moset case its better than Private Health cover. We also pay almost 50% income tax to cover this, well not for me anymore no beer until July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
