Now I know we can't see into the future, but NZ in 10years time?

[taylahm]

I am a student in the UK, and I'm just about to start my A Levels. ...
I'm not sure on my uni choices yet but I'm thinking either dentistry or teaching, and I was just wondering what sort of opportunities there are for dentists/teachers in NZ ...

I know it seems a tad weird that I'v already decided that I want to move to NZ after uni, yet I haven't even decided on a career path, but it's something that I'v always wanted to do

So, yeah, basically is there any need for either of those professions, is the lifestyle really very different and how do people over there react to British people ...

thanks

I would suggest going over there for a month or two in the summer & having a look. When you start uni you will have the summers off. Go with a friend and see for yourself.

The climate is a bit like OZ but not as hot & you have the two islands, the north which is generally warmer & the south that has the mountains & the glaciers etc. It's a lovely place, very relaxed & very beautiful and lots of culture.

The cost of living is about the same as the UK too & being a teacher or dentist you will never be out of work where ever you go.

It's a big world out there though & lots to consider & it's a long way from home, but you have all the time to make up your mind.

Best of luck.
