if moving to australia..?

i'm 19, british and am seriously thinking about a future in australia. i know the whole process of moving and everyday i'm learning more and more about what i need to know/do to move there. if i did, i wouldn't go for a few years anyway, as i'm still at uni.

my question is, i know you need a career on the skilled occupation list but if you did choose that route, how long would you have to do that job for? like if you moved, would you have to keep that job for the rest of your time there, or 5 years or something then be able to find a new career? my dream career isn't exactly being a teacher but i already work with children/have experience in the areas of working with young children up to about year 9. i think it would be very possible for me to move there and be a teacher for a good while but i'd really like to broaden myself career wise. thanks for any help!

Update:

yes i know i can't jump straight into it without actual experience. i'm well aware of everything surrounding it and all the hard work involved. money saving has already started and i'm researching more and more that i need to know everyday, but i was just wondering about the visas generally. i think 189 sounds about right for what i'm looking for.

    Depends on the visa.

    There are no restrictions whatsoever on Independent 189 visas and you can work in any occupation, for any employer and in any location from day 1.

    On state sponsored 189 and 489 visas, you can work in any occupation for any employer but are expected to live and work in the sponsoring state for 2 years.

    On a 457 temporary employer sponsored visa, you can ONLY work in the nominated occupation for the sponsoring employer. If you lose or leave your job, you have 90 days to find another eligible sponsor and apply to have your sponsorship transferred to them or you must leave the country. If the occupation nominated by the new employer is not identical to that in the original sponsorship, you must apply for a completely new visa. On a 457, you can't even have a second part time job (even if it is in the occupation nominated for your 457) or run a small business on the side.

    On a 186 ENS employer sponsored visa, you have a moral obligation to work for the sponsoring employer in ANY occupation (not necessarily the nominated occupation) for at least a year or so but it is not actually a visa condition. Many186 sponsors insist on a legally enforceable employment contract but that is quite separate from any immigration requirements. As far as DIBP is concerned, you can work for any employer in any occupation.

    On a 187 RSMS regional sponsored visa, it is a visa condition that you work for the sponsoring employer in the regional area in the nominated occupation but only for 2 years. After that, you can work anywhere in any occupation.

    They will not take you with a brand new teaching degree and no actual experience and your child care experiences will not be relevant to your teaching experience and skills either.

    You should accept that you need a couple of years working in your chosen profession and you will also be wise to save as much money as you can in those couple of years so that you have some capital to support you during the settling in time.

    Despite your skill being okay they will also expect you to have a little money behind you as you will need a housing deposit and other things and you need to cover insurances and shipping and all sorts of things as well.
