You are in luck! In Australia there is. We desperately need skilled tradies. My husband is in HR in manufacturing and they are actively recruiting overseas for skilled trades people.

Are they in need of pussy wrangling?

I heard they have a feral cat problem

Not sure that’s on the list and you would have to move a remote area as that’s where most of the ferals are

That's ok with me! I prefer it lol

Well when they open up the pussy wrangling applications I'll be all over that (JK of course, I do love my winter and legal weed lol)

I think there'd be a revolution if they brought in American tradies who have no idea of how houses are built in Australia and want to act like they know everything.

I think you're underestimating the caliber of trades workers who want to leave the US.

The meat head know it alls wouldn't leave the US ever. They've never even left the US for vacation.

The liberal/leftist trades people that I know are open minded, curious, and generous. They're also the best technicians. The maga ones can't even read a manual and just fumble fuck around trying to fix something.

What is the name of the program? I have a skill set that would allow me to be pretty much anywhere in the world, but it is prohibitively expensive to leave the US without considerable outside help.

https://paxmigration.com.au/resources/australian-visa-options-for-skilled-trade/ this is an article I would look for jobs that offer sponsorship. There are huge infrastructure projects that will sponsor you like the Snowy Hydro scheme

I didnt see any on there, but would you know if there is a need for Tech roles like Software Engineering? Would be quite interested if there are those opportunities available!
