Flyboat,
Who told you that it is hard to get a job in GA? Virtually zero? You are quite simply uninformed.
Yes you have to go "BUSH"
This bush you are talking about are still small towns and communities. To be honest you grow to despise big towns with all the traffic and general commotion.
It simple to get a job in GA. Go up north and knock on some doors. Don't be a sheltered aerosexual from Sydney sending emails to all the companies. If you are a someone who can sit down for a beer and talk about **** rather than aviation then you will get a job if you put your mind to it.
The reality is that you have no idea. Although I totally agree with you about the aviation degrees. What a waste of time!
