| 699788 | 2008-08-23 19:23:00 | Why not stay in New Zealand and give something back to the country that brought you up and paid for all of your basic education and most of your university education ?Probably coz if he/she stays here it will take 50 years to pay back the loan. Overseas, you can at least halve that length Whilst I think students should stay in NZ and contribute, in the end graduated students can have massive loans hanging over them, if NZ won't/can't come to the party in helping to pay it off thus benefiting from the degree earned,. why should they stay and be in debt for 50 years??? |

Leaving aside all the "Give something back" comments, looks like you're on track. Get some experience so you're employable (a degree is meaningless, apart from giving you some theoretical knowledge - the real world operates totally differently, as you are about to find out) and then take opportunities as they arise (and they will if you prove yourself). There are some big freight-forwarding companies with New Zealand offices where overseas transfers could well be a possibility. Why not take advantage of some free travel while getting some work experience!! |

| 699791 | 2008-08-23 21:30:00 | You will be restricted in how long you can stay in the UK unless you have some sort of status that allows you to stay/work there. Eg UK Parent/Grandparent. But a lot more opportunities there than Aussie. You can do a couple of years there then do Australia. If Helen's mob get back in I will be off to Aussie also. From the UK you can work for 6 months or so and then travel Europe in the Summer, it is quite a Kiwi culture over there. I worked for one of the Tour bus companies for 3 years which was travel and work combined. Managed 42 countries. The pay is not great but the experience will be with you forever. Eg Contiki, Top Deck and several others. Pay of your loan when you come back to Australia and start a real job. |
