Australia has a policy of

Australia has a policy of SKilled Migration. Basically it means that if you have a skill that Australia requires you can apply for a visa using your trade. They award points for every trade and ones needed mroe are awarded higher points.

So im thinking Dentist, doctor, nurse etc etc would all be high. And yes they are. But it realyl gets wierd on this page

What this means is that australia is in dire need for piano tuners, hair dressers, picture framers, Buttermaker or Cheesemakers, to name a few.

It seems we also need gunsmiths and black smiths.

So if you are student wishing to live in Australia i wouldn't worry about anything web/design related as there's no way you are getting in.

You should put the hard yards in and become a Cheese Maker or hairdresser as that's what this country really needs.
