    Hi all,

    I'm moving to Melbourne in December for a year. I'm doing my final professional accountancy exams in September but afterwards I really dont want to have anything to do with the profession at all. I really dislike it and I'd like a new fresh start. The only problem is that accountancy is the only area i have any experience in. For any other profession I have no experience or qualifications. Is it possible to make a new start and get a job in Australia in something that you have no prior experience in? For example working in a wildlife centre, or working with an Adventure Tours company, or indeed ANYTHING that is more interesting than financial services type jobs?

    Thanks

    Put it this way. If you are going on a working holiday visa the chances are you will have to take something you have no experience in. So all in all a great chance to try a few different things and see if anything "fits".
