Sorry I come across that way. It isn't my intent. If you wish to consider me a jerk and that makes you feel better, then feel free. > I'm talking about one of the world's > largest and most sophisticated cities.

Actually, according to the world atlas.. (http://www.worldatlas.com/citypops.htm) 73. Sydney, Australia - 3,665,000 As for the 2 jobs, are you really locked into only working in Sydney? Is telecommuting a difficult thing for you to do? > This is how it's been for over a year, in a country that DID NOT go > into recession. Actually, it did. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/australia-in-recession-imf/story-e6frg6n6-1111118720026 True, it didn't hit you guys as hard as the rest of the world.. Australia's forecast -0.2pc growth this year is not as dire as the US (-1.6pc), Europe (-2pc), the UK (-2.8 pc) and Japan (-2.6pc). But it still had one and that is probably a factor (note that I didn't say cause, but a factor) in the less then stellar job market. > I'm not complaining because I cant have the perfect job in the perfect > place and I'm not going to accept anything less.

If I didn't have a job, I would move me and my family to get one. But you seem to be forgetting about the telecommuting option I mentioned.
