I would like to go somewhere say in Africa where the little man has an opportunity to do something, in comparison the wage will be dogshit but the real chance of being something different is the challenge for me.
Not strictly true,especially regarding Canada as it's actually more down to what you CAN do rather than the shit jobs nobody wants,thats more the British reasoning for immigration,that were all to tired to do the shit jobs.
For the majority of Dolescum that's true but there are a lot of us out there who are prepared to work and work hard given the right opportunity.
Would be cool to try somewhere like Africa,might take a while to adapt to the cultural/practical differences but it could turn out to be an enjoyable and shrewd move,especially if you could retain a slight income from the uk say by renting your own property out and creaming a little off the top.I'd imagine £100-200 PCM out there would go a lot further than here.
If I emigrate,that's what I'll be doing,retaining my house in the uk and renting it out,I'll buy out there,start again but shouldn't be worse off in theory.
