i have been looking for programs to gain a job in austrailia through a work swap program. Someone i knew wnet on one of these for a year, and i cannot find any programs. I am prolly looking in the wrong place, but any advice would be great.

Are you only looking for Australia? Government of Canada has a number of resources for what your looking for if you're open to going to other countries as well....

I heard there are great paying jobs in Iraq...Don't forget ye ol' peacemaker, though.

Hey, I wouldn't laugh! I applied for a few positions over there, and they were offering a whole pile of money to go! Is it worth it, though? Nah, I like my head firmly attached to my body.

My uncle is moving to Saudi Arabia as an international consultant and he has to grow out a beard and hair, and wear a turban so he fits in and they dont attack him. He also has to wear the long cloaks like the terrorists do.

His boss also wants him to change his name to Muhammad, because thats what most of there names are. He has security guards guarding his housing complex and he has to be driven around by an Arab in a tinted window car because they get mad when foreigners drive. He really doesn't want to go though and is desperately looking for a sales job here in US, Canada, or Europe. Hopefully he will find one. As for your post, I don't know anything that would help you out. Sorry.
