I am thinking of taking the Australian working visa 24 month thingy


I am thinking of taking the Australian working visa 24 month thingy?
I can't really be bothered finishing my MSc degree in transportation just now - if I do, I could be eligible for a highly-skilled role in Oz, but then a company like Atkins could get me a visa, right? How much can I expect to earn in Oz as a Brit with an economics degree, no work experience, and a willingness to do any crappy job?

By all means come on a Working Holiday visa; have a marvellous time and do your 88 days of fruitpicking or whatever in a regional area so you can apply for the second 12 months, but I'm afaid that staying any longer is going to be more difficult than you imagine unless you marry an Aussie. I've never heard of 'Atkins', but nobody can get an Australian visa skilled work visa if they don't have work experience and hiring some expensive agent or advisor won't help you to get around the requirements. You must still pass the points test and even with 3 years of work experience, an economist is going to be really pushing to do that - it's simply not an occupation in high demand so you miss out on MODL points. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/175/eligibility-applicant.htm Even if you can scrape in on the points test, because of the relatively low demand for the occupation, you will be looking at a visa processing time of 4 or 5 years from when you apply. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/migration-program.pdf You should also be aware that your transportation qualifications aren't in high demand either and in fact, no transport related occupation is listed at all that I can see. http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/ If you have an employer to sponsor you, there is no points test, but DIAC is most unlikely to accept a nomination for an inexperienced economist - we have plenty of home grown ones and there's no need to bring any in from overseas on 457 temporary visas. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/sbs/ A newly graduated economist can expect to earn maybe 50k for the first couple of years. By the time you have 3 year's experience and become eligible to apply to move here, you could probably expect 75k - $100k though a lack of Australian experience may count against you in finding work.

no a company can not get you a visa if your not experienced and able to pass the points test to move to australia and your occupation must be on the skilled occupation list the working holiday visa is 12 months with the option of a second visa if you do 3 months rural work while on your first visa
