            The best IT advice anyone can give to children in the UK, is how to search for courses on plumbing, construction, electrician, joinery, plastering etc.

            Good money, lots of work, govt sponsored boom times ahead, skills wanted in Australia etc.

              Yep. Tradesmen do very well in Aus. 40 year old builders living in $3m homes in Sydney. I know a few. You've got to be near to where the money changes hands, you see.
