Advice on emigrating?
Hi,
My partner and I are thinking of emigrating in the next 5 or so years and just want to start looking into our options.
We have been thinking of America, New Zealand or Australia. My partner has just graduated with a degree in Archaeology (hopes to have his PhD in a few years time) and would possibly like to go into lecturing and I will graduate with a Computer Science degree next July and would like to go into teaching (I will have complete my PGCE and hopefully a Masters and/or PhD in Education by the time we are thinking of emigrating.)
Does any one know of any nice places to emigrate to, I don't want to live in a city but would like to be close to one or a big town but out in the countryside or suburbs, somewhere peaceful, where I can have a big garden and be close to nature. So far we have thought about Boston, or upstate New York.
We are from N.Ireland and would like to emigrate out of the UK.
I will have teaching experience by then as I will have my PGCE which includes teaching experience in a school, this is the same as the Graduate Diploma in Education.

You will need to either have a job lined up or significant experience in teaching before you can come to Australia - and in Maths/Science.
You need a Graduate Diploma in Education on top of a degree - a Grad Dip is different from a Masters or PhD in that it REQUIRES you to spend time in a school (12 weeks) teaching, writing class plans, writing exams, marking, working on school plays etc. A Masters/PhD is learning about teaching without actually teaching. This is one of the cases where a higher degree is not a better degree but a worse one. You will not be permitted to teach in a school in Australia if you have a Masters but not Grad Dip with teaching experience

I've read that there is a long waiting list for work visas for people coming from the UK. You'd need to have a job lined up and have your employer sponsor you for your work visa. [This is for the US - don't know what it's like for Australia or NZ.]
The State Department website has info about US immigration laws.
