Answer 1

Check with the Australian immigration authorities, but I don't think they are that keen on accepting people with no higher education or job experience. You should be able to judge for yourself what points they would award you by visiting their website.

They are looking for people who are ready to contribute to their society immediately, not sit around in uni a few years, drinking and sitting on the beach ;) This is why they have a points system, which favours people who have experience in jobs they need doing. You don't necessarily have to be an accountant or solicitor, for instance I hear they are having a shortage of chefs and bakers!

Why not stay and get a university degree where you are now? Take a gap year during that time to go to Australia and work for a year, which is very easy to arrange. You may find you don't like living there, ever thought that might be a possibility?

Have you examined why it is you hate living where you are now? A lot of it can be down to your attitude, and that will go with you wherever you go. You can go to the most beautiful places in the world but you will still have to do things like get a place to live, find a place to work, commute, file taxes, pay bills...all without your friends and family there to keep you company.

It's a big decision to make for someone so young and I would recommend you do more research and travelling before setting yourself on a goal that might be unrealistic.
