Default Jobs in Australia/West Coast USA

I am a very experienced climber with about 9 years of Arb experience, in UK, Central America and some embassy work in Eastern Europe. I also run a small but very busy contracting firm in Devon England.

3 Years ago I enrolled on and have been working through the Online FdSc in Arboriculture at Myerscough College which is currently a level 5 qualification in the UK.

I'm due to complete the course in May'08 and I would like to sell up and move with my family to Australia or maybe California. I am looking for somewhere where i could get a full time consulting or contract managing role.

Any one interested? or could you steer me towards someone who could be?

Thanks for your help.

I live in Cali, and I'd steer ya towards Australia

Trying to run a business here sucks. They've got some extremely picky laws and such. Mmm, I just checked up on worker's comp insurance too... it's like for every $100 you pay a worker, you have to pay an aditional $47 to workers comp. Yikes!!!

Then again, I don't have anywhere close to as much business experience as it sounds like you've got. Try contacting some of the people operating here and asking them about it though. I can find you some names and numbers if ya need.
